Posted Jan 3, 2007 at 12:59PM by Karl B. Listed in: Tags: GDC, IGDA, San Francisco

Nominations are now being accepted for the 7th annual Game Developers Choice Awards. So, what do you have to do to make sure your own personal best game of 2006 gets the award it deserves? Pray. That's about all we can do. Members of the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) are the only ones eligible to vote.

Nominations for the votable game categories can be submitted through the Game Choice Awards website until January 12. The awards ceremony itself will take place on Wednesday, March 7, during the Game Developers Conference (GDC) and will be hosted in the Esplanade Room in the South Hall of San Francisco's Moscone Convention Center.

The votable award categories are:

Best Game
Innovation
Audio
Character Design
Game Design
Technology
Visual Arts
Writing
New Studio

Each votable category will have five nominees battling for the award. Four special annual awards - the First Penguin Award, the Community Contribution Award, the Maverick Award, and that favorite of favorites, the Lifetime Achievement Award - will also be presented, with the winner selected by the Choice Awards Advisory Board.

Now, since we can't vote, let's just try our hand at predictions. Leave a comment below and tell us who you guys think will win in which categories. When the awards are handed out, we'll take a look back at the predictions and see if anybody came even close.
