The Interactive Achievement Awards (IAA's) are the only peer
based awards that recognize the year's best videogames, computer
games, online entertainment, outstanding individuals, and
groundbreaking development teams that have propelled the
advancement of the multi-billion dollar worldwide entertainment
software industry. The awards presented by the Academy of
Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) are determined by a vote of
field -specific, qualified Academy members, making the Interactive
Achievement Awards the most sought after, respected and credible
recognition for creators of entertainment software.
