The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences is now accepting nominations for the 12th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards.  Please read the complete rules and submissions requirements documentation before completing the nomination form.  The official deadline for submissions is Friday, December 5, 2008 at 5:00 P.M.

The awards will recognize the greatest achievements in interactive software for 2008 at the Red Rock Casino, Resort, and Spa on Thursday, February 19, 2009 in the Red Rock Ballroom.

The Interactive Achievement Awards have been presented annually since 1998.

Interactive Achievement Award recipients are determined by a vote of qualified Academy members. As such, selection as an Interactive Academy award finalist or recipient represents the strongest possible peer recognition. No person may become a voting member of the Academy unless he or she can demonstrate a threshold level of experience and professional credits in the industry. Interactive Academy voting is secret, conducted on-line, and supervised and certified by our partners at eBallot. The integrity of the system, coupled with a broad-based voting population of Academy members, make the Interactive Achievement Awards the most credible, respected and recognized awards for interactive entertainment software.
