The 5th Annual Game Music Remix Awards Hosted by VGM Con — The 5th Annual Game Music Remix Awards Hosted by **VGM Con**

The Game Music Remix Awards are an annual award show created to highlight the incredible artists in the VGM cover and remix community. Please join us on April 23rd at 6 PM CDT for a night of performances, prizes, and just generally awesome people. Come hang out, learn about some incredible creators, and listen to music from some special guests throughout the stream.

The winners of each category will be selected by a combination of public voting and the soon-to-be announced panel of awesome video game composers. If you’d like to help vote, simply click here! Make sure to share the form so we can make this the biggest awards show yet!

Each winner will receive a prize package of audio software, generously put together by our premiere sponsor, The Game Audio Network Guild. In addition, GameGrooves will be providing a digital copy of their entire discography (excluding charity releases) for each of the winners.

Update (4/26/21): I’ve updated this list to include all the winners. Congrats again to all of the nominees!
