Your Company Name:

When typing/pasting entries into the categories below, please do not start with A, An, or The. Omit those words if they begin the title.  Use the optional "clipboard" above to copy/paste your games into the entry form below.  Each category has a maximum of 3, 5, or 10 entries.  For multi-platform releases, enter only the name of the game irrespective of format.  A committee or review panel appointed by the Academy will determine whether to credit a nomination and/or award a statuette for one, more than one, or all platforms on which the entry was released.  After you submit this form, you will receive an itemized e-mail receipt for all entries as well as a cumulative invoice.  Game or product must be a console, PC, or other interactive work released publicly in the United States in the calendar year being awarded.  A re-release or "ported" version of a previous NAVGTR nominee is not eligible for entry or nomination.

IMPORTANT: With the exception of Game of the Year ($500.00 U.S. Dollars), each category is $100.00 U.S. Dollars. Pay by check, money order, VISA, or MASTERCARD. You must also submit one non-returnable final copy of each game being entered, plus an additional copy for any Game of the Year submissions. You will not need to send more than two (2) copies of any game. Failure to accept the award statuette does not forfeit the title of the award.

Please include the following REQUIRED information if this is your first entry for the current awards season:

Your Full Name: Phone:
Street Address: City: State:
Zip: Emergency Contact E-mail (i.e. supervisor):
Emergency Contact's Name: Emergency Contact's Phone:

*If included in an awards year, the Adult Content category is ideally for material that takes a serious, novel, or sociological approach to adult content, with an intended emphasis on the significance and relevance to the culture and the advancement of the game industry.  Mature themes or properties that are transcendent for the industry (i.e. Grand Theft Auto, Bully, Scarface, Naughty America). 
**
Music accompanied by the spoken word/language of a modern culture or society, real or fictitious, is considered a song and therefore not eligible in this category.  However, original music with ancient Latin or similar vocals is eligible, because the vocals do not function as words in all practicality.
***For Original/Adapted Song, specify name of song AND name of game (i.e. "Santa Monica, Indigo Prophecy").  Entries in this category may require entry of the actual song recording on CD or audio cassette, as well as written copy of the song lyrics.  You will be contacted if this is needed. 
****
For acting categories, specify a single actor/actress AND game (i.e. "Leslie Swan, Super Mario 64"), as entries without performer names will be immediately disqualified.
*****Virtual console games (i.e. Wii), downloadable games (i.e. MSN, PSP, web), and digital distribution (i.e. GameTap, GameFly, AOL) properties are eligible for nomination if previously released in any country in any way prior to January 1, 2001, or ten or more years ago, whichever is least restrictive. 
******To enter "Game of the Year," send one non-returnable final shrink-wrap copy of game AND $500 entry fee. If you enter this category and win, your first award for each game entered for "Game of the Year" is free, even if the game wins in a different category.  To claim your free award, you will be asked to provide a password.  Please create this password now by typing it in the space below and keeping it in a safe place:
