The NYC Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) will announce additional recognition and support for The New York Videogame Critics Circle (NYVGCC) and their charitable works in the community.

“We are looking forward to coming together online to celebrate the video game industry, the people who make games and the people who write about them,” said Harold Goldberg, executive director and founder, NYVGCC. “In response to ongoing world conditions, NYVGCC has really redoubled our efforts, extending our work with underserved and homeless students, and creating more paid internship opportunities for students interested in Games Journalism and the games industry. We have a lot to reflect on and celebrate with our larger gaming community.”

The NYVGCC, a nonprofit promoting awareness of, and education for, video games, writing and journalism in the New York City area, hosts the annual award program to celebrate the industry, its creators and the NYVGCC members and students, as well as fundraise for the NYVGCC scholarship programs.
