Announcing Viveport Developer Awards 3 for 2019

One of the guiding tenets for my team at Viveport and VIVE Studios is to always put developers first. We know we are not, yet, the first platform considered for publishing and distribution by content developers. This means we have to try harder than everyone else! Over the last two years, the Viveport Developer Awards(VDAs) have become our small way to celebrate and reward the exceptional studios and their content that has contributed to the impact created by Virtual Reality. We have given back more than a million dollars in prize money and marketing exposure to the developer community through the VDA across categories like Entertainment, Education, Arts and Culture, and Arcades/Location Based Entertainment content.

This year’s batch will have one winner and one finalist from four PC-VR categories and one winner from three VIVE WAVE(our very own open VR platform for developers to create content for standalone devices) categories. We believe, now is the best time to be a Viveport developer as winners will receive a cash prize, the newest VIVE hardware, tickets to the 2019 Game Developers Conference and marketing support, including a “Viveport Developer Stories” video, totaling over $500,000 in rewards. Here is what some of the previous winners have to say about the VDAs.

Developers have also been the key to Viveport Subscription’s great success this year as we’ve seen our subscriber base grow 5x due to our ever increasing library of top-quality content. With the most avenues to monetize their content, full marketing support, 100% revenue share during the busiest quarter of the year, and double the reach with the support of Oculus Rift, we continue our quest to be the most developer-centric markting team in the VR industry.

To enter, VR developers can submit their PC or Wave title to the Viveport Developer Awards starting today through February 1st. After registering on the Viveport Developer Console, developers then must opt-in for the Viveport Subscription program and choose which category to enter before submitting their title to Viveport for publishing. Winners will be announced at the 2019 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
