Here Are The Nominees For The 2021 VR Awards

Join other VR dignitaries at the fifth annual VR Awards via a live “World Hop Experience” on VR headsets.

*UPDATE [7/23/2021] – We’ve received an update stating that the VR Awards will not be hosting an in-person event this year due to ongoing concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve updated the article accordingly.*

The Academy of International Extended Reality (AIXR) has announced the finalists for the fifth International VR Awards, an international ceremony honoring incredible milestones made within the VR industry in categories such as hardware, gaming, film, social VR, marketing, and more. Think of it as the Oscars of VR!

In the past, the celebration was a physical red carpet, black-tie event that took place in Central London’s prestigious 8 Northumberland Avenue, but due to the COVID pandemic organizers moved their celebration into VR through an exclusive “World Hop Experience”, allowing you to join the VR Awards from a web browser, phone, or VR headset. Once in-world you’ll be able to hobnob with over 300 international VR luminaries from some of the most influential backgrounds in the industry as they recognize and celebrate the biggest accomplishments in VR.
