Develop Awards: Lobbying deadline extended

It seems some of you need more time to think hard about what you have done.

Despite scoring a record number of early submissions, we’re extending the deadline for Develop Awards lobbying to the end of the week for a handful of stragglers that want a bit more time.

So you’ve got a little extra time to finish your short pitches – 5pm on Friday, April 20th, to be exact.

Games developers and services firms wishing to put their work in the last 12 months forward for consideration should click here for our detailed lobbying guide.

Send lobbying pitches and suggestions to Develop editor-in-chief Michael.French@intentmedia.co.uk.

Key awards include New IP, In-house Studio, Business Development and Best Tools Provider. Also new this year is a prize for Narrative Design. Lobbying is open to any games studio in Europe, and any service or technology company globally that supports developers within Europe.

The awards take place on July 11th at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in Brighton, UK.
