Games Industry Africa Awards (GIAA) is an initiative to recognise, celebrate as well as promote the diverse portfolio of video games from the continent annually. The industry in Africa is largely, but still relatively nascent compared to its geographical contemporaries. An acknowledgement of the pool of talent is a way to aid continuous growth as well as inspire the next generation of creators and developers.
GIAA aims to unify the various region and have them represented across every facet of the nomination and deliberation process as jury members. The role as a jury will be a rolling one with a new set appointed annually.
