The international award categories and the category "Player of the Year" are exempt from donation. The award consists of 15 categories including a "Special Jury Award" and the category "Player of the Year" elected by the community. Besides the introduction of new and the re-structuring of existing categories, criteria for registration have been reformulated. In 2015, the award was fundamentally reshaped.
Basic condition to submit a game in one of the donated categories is a development quota of 80 percent of the game in Germany. Prize money is only disbursed to winners in national categories. Awarded are games of "cultural and pedagogical value", technical or gameplay-related innovations or games of high entertainment value.
