Another year, another DICE awards show. The Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain Awards showcase is another way the gaming community celebrates the digital adventures we’ve undergone while looking ahead towards the future.

“The 24th Annual DICE Awards ushered in a new way for us to celebrate our nominees through candid and thoughtful discussions, where they could share their achievements with one another like never before,” says Meggan Scavio, Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences President. “On behalf of the Academy, I want to thank all of the amazing 2020 nominees for granting us their valuable time and congratulate the winners, all chosen by their peers.”
