As of November 1, 2012, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences is accepting submissions for the 16th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards, which recognize and commend the best games and developers in the industry. Nominations close December 3, 2012 at 5:00 PM PST, and nominees will be announced during the week of January 21, 2013.

The actual award ceremony will be taking place on February 7, 2013, at The Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Las Vegas.

"Receiving a D.I.C.E.Award nomination is the highest form of recognition that can be bestowed upon any game developer or publisher," said President of the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. "Unlike other video game award programs, the D.I.C.E. Awards are 100% peer-driven, peer-supported, and peer-voted by active developers from our 22,000 plus Academy membership." 

To be eligible for nomination, a game must have a release date falling between January 1 and December 31, 2012. For the complete list of categories for nomination or to download a submission packet, interested parties can visit www.interactive.org.
