The MCV/DEVELOP Awards (combining the MCV Awards and Develop Awards for the first time) is the UK’s only awards for the whole games industry, recognising all of its key areas: development and publishing, retail and distribution, plus marketing, PR, events and media.

In the 18 years since its inception, the awards has established itself as an unrivalled platform for the recognition of industry excellence and its winners represent the very best creative and business talents.

This year, the awards introduced a new, democratic process, whereby all 5,000 MCV subscribers were instrumental in determining who took home a coveted accolade on the big night.
