IMIRT: The Irish Game Makers Association are pleased to announce the winners for the Imirt Irish Game Awards for games released in 2021. This year we introduced a twist on the Most Anticipated category where instead of having the judges vote on submitted games, the audience submitted the games they were anticipating the most!
We would like to thank everyone who entered the competition and congratulate the winners. We would also like to thank our judges for their time and expertise. The Judges were composed of national and international experts.
