Announcing the winners of the GamesBeat 2016 developer contest

To showcase innovation and shed a light on new and upcoming games, GamesBeat ran a Games Developer Showcase competition for GamesBeat 2016 that we kicked off on June 22. Now we’ve selected the winners, and we’re inviting them to GamesBeat 2016 as way to diversify the people attending the event and make it more accessible to independent developers.

The winners have received an exhibition table at GamesBeat where they will showcase their games in front of hundreds of the best executives in the gaming industry. The top five winners will get free admission and demo spots in our expo at GamesBeat 2016, and three additional runners-up will get free admission to the event. (Want to register?)
