Eurogamer Network today launches Faces of the GamesIndustry, a photographic event in association with One Big Game, Lincoln Beasley PR, the London Games Career Fair and GamesIndustry.biz.
The Faces of the GamesIndustry website can be found at http://facesofthe.gamesindustry.biz/.
The Faces of the GamesIndustry award is comprised of 10 portraits of the people that simply deserve to be included given the events in the world of games that year. While the line-up for the inaugural exhibition is the personal pick of photographer and Eurogamer Network publisher Patrick Garratt, voting for those to make the cut for the 2008 show will be opened to the trade.
Faces of the GamesIndustry will run alongside the London Games Career Fair, part of London Game Festival 2007, at Old Truman Brewery, 91 Brick Lane, London, E1 6QL, from 11am - 7pm on Tuesday, 23 October and Wednesday, 24 October.
The Faces of the GamesIndustry for 2007 are:
Gabe Newell - Managing Director, Valve Corporation
Tony Hawk
Peter Moore - President, EA Sports
Tom Bramwell - Deputy Editor, Eurogamer.net
Kaz Hirai - President, Sony Computer Entertainment
Mark Rein - President, Epic Games
Ellie Gibson - Content Editor, Eurogamer Network
Phil Harrison - Executive Vice President, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe
Hideo Kojima - President, Kojima Productions
Paulina Bozek - Game Director, Singstar, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe
“It’s great to get Faces of the GamesIndustry off the ground,” said Eurogamer Network Publisher, Patrick Garratt. “Eurogamer Network will be looking to extend the brand in 2008 by opening voting to the trade through GamesIndustry.biz, and it’s exciting to be involved in the project as both a photographer and publisher.”
