BEST INDIE GAME NOMINATION REQUIREMENTS
The additional condition of Best Indie Game nomination is that you must own 100% of your IP and you should have an “indie spirit”. The organizers reserve the right to remove a game without any explanation.
HOW TO CONSIDER "THE GAME WAS RELEASED" CONDITION
Apart from official game release, released games are games that use monetization.
Examples:
- Game sale in Early Access on Steam
- Collecting donations on Patreon
- Sale of in-game items
- Monetization through advertising
- Gamejolt, itch.io and other resources if there’s monetization (if there’s no monetization than it’s allowed)
- Soft Launch on mobile devices in one of the regions with any ways of monetization
- Sale of game access on your website including closed or open beta-test
![](https://devgamm.com/2020/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Aw7-1024x576.jpg)
If a game is available on its website or services as itch.io without ways of monetization than we do not consider it as a release.
We remind you that for the submission, the game should be in the release for no more than a year (release no earlier than 20.10.2019).
