159 finalists for the International Mobile Gaming Awards

The International Mobile Gaming Awards has revealed 159 finalists for the Grand Prix award.

The 159 were actually narrowed down by an online judging system from almost 3,000 submissions. The final winners will be decided by a face-to-face meeting of judges this week.

The winners of the 13th annual IMGA awards will be announced in San Francisco on February 28th. There's a public vote going on as well, and consumers can vote now

"2016 was a year of growth for the IMGA," said IMGA head Maarten Noyons. "We launched competitions in Southeast Asia, the Middle East North Africa, and China. The lineup of this year's IMGA Global campaign is unique, because it is the result of a worldwide search for quality, innovation and originality. The 159 nominees, including 29 unpublished games and 13 VR games, have been selected from nearly 3,000 submissions, and unites our local competitions winners with those selected from our global call for entries. I personally recommend every single game in this line up."
