With dozens of developers of all sizes displaying their projects at the show, the awards provide an opportunity to recognize outstanding achievements across five distinct categories while rewarding them with top-of-the-line hardware from both Intel and NVIDIA.
This year, each team that takes home top honors in any of the five categories will be awarded an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card, and an Intel i9-9900K processor brought to you by the Intel Game Dev Program.
From Unreal Underdog to Most Outstanding Original Game and Biggest Buzz, each of the five categories are designed to honor both the nominees and winners that demonstrate outstanding achievements while all eyes are on E3.
