VIGMA 2020, the first Video Game Critics Festival, will be held on Friday 9 Khordad 1399 (29 May 2020). As we get ready for the event, which this year is held online because of the coronavirus outbreak, some participants may have questions about taking part. Below we have tried to answer them.
How do I take part in the event?
The VIGMA event has two parts, the specialist talks and the closing ceremony. To take part, buy a ticket on the event page on Aparat before the event starts. You do not need a ticket to watch the closing ceremony online: this part of the Video Game Critics Festival is open to everyone.
Do I need a VIGMA ticket to watch the closing ceremony?
No. As we said, watching the closing ceremony of the first Video Game Critics Festival is free for everyone. The closing ceremony starts at 4:30 pm.
I already bought a ticket on Evand. What do I need to do to attend online?
Everyone who bought a VIGMA ticket on Evand has received a 100 percent Aparat discount code. Go to the event page on Aparat and use the code you were sent to complete your registration for the VIGMA event. You do not need to pay anything at this stage: with the code you were sent, entered on the Aparat page, you will have access to the event's content.
What is the schedule?
As announced earlier, the VIGMA event has 9 specialist talks, starting at 10:45 am on Friday 9 Khordad 1399 (29 May 2020). The talks end at 4:15 pm the same day, and the festival's closing ceremony will be broadcast from 4:30 pm.
Do the VIGMA talks run without a break?
No. The schedule includes breaks. There is a one-hour break for rest and lunch at 1 pm on Friday; the event then continues until the closing ceremony, with another break from 4:15 to 4:30 pm.
I cannot attend on the day. Will I have access to the talks later?
No decision has been made yet; it will be announced later. Our aim is for everyone who bought a ticket to have access to the talks.
What do the winning games receive?
Besides being named the best games of 1398 (2019–20) in their categories, the winning games of the first Video Game Critics Festival will receive a commemorative statuette of the first VIGMA and a certificate from us, which will be sent to the game's developers.
