It’s not every day we get to see an award ceremony that celebrates and recognises nascent ecosystems that are yet to reach global adoption, but organisers of the American Metaverse Awards have revealed the nominee list of shortlisted finalists for the live event that’ll take place in March later this year.
The American Metaverse Awards will spotlight individuals, start-ups, small and medium-sized businesses, global brands and large-scale international organisations that are involved in the metaverse ecosystem.
Co-organizer Eric Eddy said, “The centerpiece of our event – the awards competition – is to spotlight metaverse entrepreneurship and business leadership helping drive Web3’s growth. The people building the metaverse are a unique breed of creative technologists and elevated entrepreneurs. We are putting them in the spotlight as their hard work and risk-taking inspires others and accelerates the building of strong, globally competitive Web3 businesses.”
Some of the award categories include ‘Most Exciting Metaverse Startup’ and ‘Top Corporate Brand’ to ‘Top Metaverse Debut,’ ‘Best VC’ and ‘Top Wallet System.’ Below we’ve outlined the nominee Shortlist for the American Metaverse Awards:
