Jury and Voting

This year’s jury featured over 70 prominent traditional and blockchain gaming figures, with many returning jurors from previous ceremonies. The diverse panel included representatives from powerhouses such as Amazon, Google, Samsung, Ubisoft, Animoca Brands, Immutable, Arbitrum, Blockchain Game Alliance (BGA), Base, Ronin, and Avalanche, as well as content creators and major media outlets such as VentureBeat.

Much like previous years, the voting process saw the jury’s votes represent 90% of the final decision, with the community making up the remaining 10% for most categories except People’s Choice and Best Content Creator, which were both 100% community voting-based, and Games’ Choice, which is based on shortlisted game studios voting for their favorite title game.

Community voting played a role in deciding the final decisions with over 1 Million votes from over 143k unique voters. Early October marked the GAM3 Awards 2024 announcement. Since then, hundreds of web3 games urged their communities to nominate and vote for them across different categories. Thousands of social posts were spread across partners, games, media outlets, content creators, and community members generating over 60 Million impressions.

All of which are a testament to the bright future of web3 gaming as we head into 2025 with the event expected to return next November for its fourth consecutive edition.
