This year’s BetConstruct B.F.T.H. Arena Awards will be held from July 1-4 in Yerevan, Armenia, featuring an increased prize pool and additional award categories. The awards were crafted by the gaming solutions and products supplier to recognize innovation and promote exceptional creations within the industry.
Game creators and talents have the chance to compete for a share of the 3,333,000 FTN prize pool, valued at over €5 million ($5.38 million). Although not changed in numbers, the prize pool is "bigger due to the rising popularity of FTN," notes BetConstruct.
To empower more game creators, this year the company is introducing three new award categories - Best Arcade Game, Best Game Achievement and Players’ Game of Choice. All games including features that ensure players receive FTN to their FTN wallets can be eligible for the Best Game Achievement category. On the other hand, all submitted games that have demos will be subject to public voting to receive the Players’ Game of Choice award.
The submission process commenced on February 6th and is set to conclude on May 31st.
Last year’s awards received participation from over 50 game developers, the company said. The 2023 awards ceremony was held during the Harmony Meetup 4.0 which gathered over 500 industry representatives to raise awareness and recognition around the winners.
"This year, BetConstruct aims to build upon this legacy by offering an even larger prize pool, expanded categories, and a grand ceremony that celebrates the spirit of innovation and achievement within the whole gaming community," a press statement said.
