We believe that everyone who makes it into the SGS&C finalists group is a winner. They receive free full registrations to the I/ITSEC conference, demonstrate their game throughout the conference in free booth space, and get to sit at the Serious Games Showcase & Challenge table during the banquet. But, we also distinguish the best of the best with the following awards:
All Games qualify for:
