The organizers of the 14th Annual Independent Games Festival have announced that a record 568 game entries, from both leading and first-time indie developers, have been received for IGF 2012′s Main Competition.
This year’s IGF entries will be distributed to more than 150 notable industry judges for evaluation, and their highest recommendations passed on to a set of discipline-specific juries for each award, who will debate and vote on their favorites, before finalists are announced in January 2012.
Winners will then be awarded on stage during the IGF Awards ceremony during the Game Developers Conference 2012 in San Francisco next March, and all finalists in the Main Competition will be showcased in the IGF Pavilion on the GDC Expo Floor from March 7th-9th, immediately following the 5th Annual Independent Games Summit on March 5th and 6th.
If you would like to see what games have been submitted to the festival be sure to check out the official website.
