Awards event for everyone involved in the UK games media community will take place
Thursday, May 16th 2019 * Jägermeister bar returns!
Nominations now open!
The Games Media Brit List will once again celebrate the very best in games writing and broadcasting on Thursday, May 16th 2019 at London’s Rix Mix.
Returning after a rip-roaring inaugural 2018 event, the Games Media Brit List awards are open to anyone involved in the games and esports media – specialist consumer journalists, B2B reporters, vloggers, media brands, national media reviewers and more.
The awards provide a showcase of UK games media talent and will highlight achievements from the previous 12 months – whether for excellent reporting, influencer reach, or creative ingenuity.
Nominations are open to anyone working in the UK games media. Entrants don’t have to be British, but they do need to have worked for a UK games media outlet within the past 12 months.
As well as the awards themselves, the Games Media Brit List will once again bring together the games media community and the wider industry for an evening of entertainment and networking in the buildup to E3, the global industry’s leading trade event in LA.
And for finalists, the Games Media Brit List will once again be completely free to attend.
The Games Media Brit List 2019 categories are:-
Best Critic
Pretty self-explanatory. Have you reviewed anything in print, online or as part of a podcast/video? This category is for you.
Best Reporter
For all you news hounds across any medium.
Best Features Writer
Is longform your thing? Print, digital, mainstream or specialist features writers, step this way.
Best Video Presenter
Got a face for video? This category covers both solo YouTubers and brand-produced content.
Best Podcast & Radio
We know that video hasn’t killed the radio/podcast star. This category celebrates this still-thriving sector of the media.
Print Editorial Team
Does what it says on the tin. Recognising magazine and newspaper teams – specialist and mainstream.
Online Editorial Coverage - Specialist
Ditto. If you and your specialist games team cover games online, enter here.
Online Editorial Coverage - Mainstream
Same, but for the national and mainstream media.
Video Production Team
Again, not much to explain. Open to any editorially-led video production teams who cover games.

Editor of the Year
This category is open to magazine, online or section editors who have inspired and led their teams to success over the past year.
Unsung Hero
Do you know someone who has gone out of their way to mentor and foster upcoming talent? Or have gone beyond the call to help with worthwhile initiatives. This one’s for them.
Most Influential
This will recognise an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the UK games media during his/her career. The winner of this award will be chosen by the Games Media Brit List team, who will take soundings from leading industry individuals.
