FAQ
What’s the difference between Character Design and Costume Design?
Character design focuses on the complete creation of a character, including their backstory, world-building considerations, and physical appearance from head to toe. Costume design, on the other hand, is solely centered on the clothing or outfit the character is wearing and does not include their physical features.
Can I nominate a game or designer more than once?
To ensure fairness and diversity in nominations, we kindly ask that you limit submissions for a specific game or designer to a maximum of three entries. If you feel strongly about nominating them multiple times, you are welcome to do so within this limit. However, please note that exceeding this rule will result in your nominations being dismissed.
Can I nominate more than one game or designer?
Absolutely! We encourage you to submit nominations for multiple games or designers to help us create a varied and exciting list for our awards ceremony. Please remember that each submission must focus on one game or designer at a time. Submissions listing multiple names or titles in a single entry will not be considered.
