Interactive Achievement Award Nomination StatementJoseph Olin, president, Academy of Interactive Arts & SciencesThe Academy’s peer panels and panelists are allowed and encouraged to consider any game released during the appropriate calendar year: it need not be formally submitted by a publisher to be reviewed, discussed and voted upon. The Interactive Achievement Award finalists are determined by nearly 400 of the most experienced game makers in the industry. Of the 45 titles that were finalists last year, seven were write-ins from the Peer Panels. This year, eight Interactive Achievement Award finalists are write-ins.
To receive an award, the publisher must be an AIAS member. Non-member publishers, whose titles are written-in, are invited to join the Academy. If the publisher accepts the invitation to join the organization, their title remains on the final ballot and the winner is then determined by a vote of Academy members. In addition to the Interactive Achievement Awards for games, the AIAS honors outstanding contributions by individuals with the new Lifetime Achievement Award and celebrates creative masters through its Hall of Fame. A majority of publishers and developers support the AIAS’ mission to promote and advance the worldwide interactive entertainment community and recognize outstanding achievements in the interactive arts and sciences. Many of these companies participate in forming the IAA rules and guidelines by sitting on the non-profit organization’s board of directors. These leading publishers know that an awards show worthy of the interactive entertainment industry is important and requires considerable management, planning and ultimately, funding. Most publishers and developers have been aware of the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences’ (AIAS) policies for several years and have been encouraged to join the Academy to help celebrate great games and their creators. Regarding the AIAS and its membership fees, the Academy’s rules designate its members as a primary submitting entity for award consideration. Corporate membership begins at $1,000 and the fee structure has not increased in eight years. The requirement for membership is not dissimilar from other industry associations. |

still must pay to receive an award though, that doesn't sound non-profit

understand that it says it starts at 1,000. I wonder what that means? maybe a tiered membership system where payment depends on size or company maybe?
