Frequently Asked Questions

Does my game need to have a Japanese version?

A Japanese version is not required. However, since this award aims to introduce games to Japanese gaming fans, having a Japanese version would be appreciated.

I have multiple games. Can I submit them all?

You can submit multiple games as long as they meet the submission guidelines. However, we would appreciate if you could submit only the titles you are most confident about.

Are there any game genres that cannot be submitted?

We accept all game genres. However, games must be suitable for all ages. Games containing discriminatory content, ethically problematic content, or content prohibited by Japanese law cannot be submitted.

Do you have sponsorship plans?
