Al via la quarta edizione degli Impy Awards – PlayStation.Blog


Ogni anno, the Impy Awards celebrate you, the Dreams coMmunity, and all the incredible work you’ve done inside and outside the Dreamiverse. It’s the absolute highlight of our year to put together a show capturing the last year of Dreams, and that’s exactly what we’re planning to do with The 4th Annual Impy Awards early next year.

Oggi, we’re excited to announce that nominations for The 4th Annual Impy Awards are now open. Quest'anno, you can put yourself or your fellow dreamers forward for any of our 23 categories. These will then be shortlisted and presented to a panel of judges (and in keeping with tradition a handful will be opened up for coMmunity voting!). Si può begin submitting nominations right here.

When it comes to our categories, we love taking feedback after each Impy Awards and evolving them to better represent all areas of Dreams. Quest'anno, it feels like we may have hit a definitive list! Quindi senza ulteriori indugi, here are the categories for The 4th Annual Impy Awards:
