Enter today to have a chance at winning
Games companies in the UK have just one month to enter the GamesIndustry.biz Best Places To Work Awards 2024.
The process can take several weeks. So sign up as soon as possible if you're keen to participate.
We have revamped our questions for 2024, focusing in on the areas that truly matter in what has been a tough year for games companies and their employees. This year, games firms can also take part in our special awards separately from our main process (more on this below).
The awards are open to all games companies with offices in the UK, including developers, publishers, service companies, retail and media, and you can submit your company through here.
The deadline for all entries is Wednesday, August 15. Winners will be announced during an awards ceremony that will take place at the Royal Institute in London on Wednesday, September 18.

The Best Places To Work Awards are based on a two survey system, one for the employer to fill in (and worth 20% of the score) and the other for employees (80% of the score). For a detailed rundown on how the awards process works, our Frequently Asked Questions and how these awards are judged, click here.
All employer data and identifiable employee information is deleted once the awards and any reports have been processed. Businesses that do not win will not be named.
Participants can receive a free report from us featuring their overall scores, and we also have benchmarking and advanced reports available for a fee.
Alongside the typical Best Places badges, we also have special awards. These are awards designed to highlight excellence in specific areas. This year, those awards include:
The Diversity Award
