Judge Not Lest Yee Be Game:

I just nailed down my nomination judging team for the new Gaming Annie. Most of them are from Orange County (lots of gaming companies down this way) so it looks like we will be holding the final nomination judging in Orange with our one L.A. based judge doing the long drive this year (sorry Jon).

I think I have a good mix; the Animation Chair of a high profile Local Art College, a gaming historian, a CGI movie animation / FX guy, a Gaming animator, and the manager of my local Gaming Store. I think that about covers the field. And I think the Gaming Store manager is a nice touch. Very grass roots and in the trenches where the real world meets the gaming reality.

I am really stoked about the New Gaming Annie category. It is long over due and I am proud to be the Nominating Chair for this first year of composition. I just hope we get some killer stuff submitted.  ¶ 11:03 AM
