With the implementation of our shiny new website for 2019, we needed to find a solution to archive the results for previous Rookies Awards contests that are not compatible with our new platform. As a result, this page has been setup to display the results and make sure all our winners are remembered and celebrated.
In 2018, the Rookie Awards received 9,971 digital projects created by 2,914 students from more than 87 countries worldwide. Over 580 academic facilities encouraged their students to submit work and will compete for the hotly contested School of the Year title, while students will battle for Rookie of the Year, Game of the Year, and Film of the Year titles. This year students are also competing for Studio Internships and Scholarships.
The winners and finalists were been selected by scoring each student based on criteria including creative skills, technical skills, presentation, variety of skills, complexity, raw talent, and employment potential. As always, the results have been extremely close with only a few points difference between the majority of nominees.
