Rookie Awards 2022 – Game Development

New special challenge from The Rookies (Rookie Awards 2022 | The Rookies) with another level of prizes offered to “amateur artists with less than 12 months of professional experience“.

The winners have been finally published!!. You can find them in this post under each category.

The level of this contest was high, the prizes incredibly large and expensive which is amazing!!, sad that they were just concentered on the Winner and Runner Up.

I remember when, not long ago, I participated in one of their contests and I spent the whole night finishing the renders as the countdown that they have on their platform, had a few hours left…I delivered minutes before the counter finished, but they PROLONGED the countdown adding ten hours more!!! …I went to bed very tired…and they kept applying time extension to keep alive the contest for three days more… I hope they are not doing this kind of odd stuff anymore . Are they still doing this?… please leave a comment at the bottom of this section.
