The
following guidelines for each category are not necessarily definitive. Due to
varying credit terminology in different countries or companies, as well as the extended collaboration
involved in team productions, the determination of proper eligible award recipients can be quite
challenging. Accomplishing this goal requires the Academy to commit to a workable
but imperfect process. The following guidelines shall serve as a first step in
that process, for which the Academy welcomes any participation. Individuals that are most likely to be eligible
for an award statuette are those with credited titles that are listed below as “Presumed
Eligible with Proof of Credit.” However, depending on the different meanings
of certain credits across different game genres, or depending on differences in the actual type
of development work performed in the creation of a unique game that would render a particular credit inapplicable, some
credits may occasionally be declared ineligible even if they are/were “presumed” eligible. However,
these cases should be extremely rare. Individuals with credited titles that are listed below as “Eligible with Permission”
may require permission from the Academy and, in some cases, permission from the nominees that are/were presumed eligible
and/or certified as eligible. However, if no one is presumed eligible (i.e.
no matching credit, or no credits on record), then the Academy may or may not waive the requirement
for proof of credit. However, if a waiver is granted, no more than three (3)
individuals will receive an award statuette, and reasonably supportive documentation of any kind
will have to be provided and held to be sufficient by the Academy. Future claims to an award may
require permission from the Academy and, in some cases, permission from the first three (3) individuals who received awards.
This process is likely to involve lengthy delays. For more information on receiving your award(s),
