Milthon awards now open for European developers

Previously limited to French companies, the Milthon awards have widened participation to include European developers.

Set up to promote games, and particularly indie games, as a cultural industry, there are eight awards, including a specific best mobile game.

Last year, this was won by Globz for its Globulos Party, while mobile publisher Bulkypix won the Milthon Revelation award for its iPhone game Hysteria Project.

Three games will be selected for each category with the official nominee list released during August.

The awards ceremony will be held on Friday September 10, as part of the 5th Paris Game Festival Inauguration, at the Parc des Expositions de Paris - Porte de Versailles.
