The UCLan student nominees include, Jakob MacDonald for the 'Student Game Award'.
Jakob is a graduate from UCLan Games Design and is currently studying for his MA and also working in UCLan's Innovation Lab in Danny Livingstone's team.
Jakob has released an App named 'BacteriAR' on iOS and Android. This Augmented Reality game has been developed for the NHS in collaboration with UCLan School of Medicine to raise awareness about the use of antibiotics.

Another of our students, Simon Ashcroft, who is currently completing his MA, has also been nominated for the 'Student Hero Award' as he has inspired and rallied many of our games students to take part in several games jams and has formed an indie company which we hope to see develop and become successful. Simon won the award for creative excellence for work throughout 2019 given by The Great Northern Creative Expo.

TT_Games are short-listed for the 'Graduate Employer Award' for the fact that in the last ten years, they have employed over 50 of our students.

Also the University of Central Lancashire and TT_Games, for the 'Industry Collaboration Award' 

Thanks TT_Games for all the opportunities you give to our games design students.

It's great to see that all those people are shortlisted 😃 😃
