Dave Warfield, Head of Game Design, is one of three finalists nominated for a PopVox Award in the Individual Standout Awards category of Digital Education. An industry vet of more than 15 years, Dave has worked as a Senior Producer for EA, where he developed over 24 game titles.

Entertainment Business Management Instructor and Raincity Studios President Kris Krug is also nominated in the Individual Standout Awards category of Social Media.

Congrats to both of you!

In its third year as a New Media B.C. initiative, the PopVox Awards recognize B.C.’s best and brightest minds in the digital media industry. We’ll be crossing our fingers during the awards ceremony that will take place on May 13th, the second day of the Vancouver 2009 Digital Week.

Also occurring that week is the Game Developer’s Conference, the largest conference in the game industry. And guess what? Dave Warfield will be there too, as part of a panel discussing the question: “Can Academics Partner with Industry?” (SPOILER: The answer is “Yes.”)
