Dr. Enrique Pérez (Head of School, MetStudios Berlin) named as jury member of German Computer Game Awards
The Deutscher Computerspielpreis (DCP), Germany’s most prestigious award for video games, has been recognising excellence in game development since 2009. Supported by the German government and the games industry, the DCP celebrates creativity, innovation, and the cultural impact of games. From technical achievements to powerful storytelling, the awards highlight how games can entertain, educate, and address real-world challenges.
The expert jury for the 2025 awards has now officially convened, bringing together industry leaders, developers, and creatives to select this year’s most outstanding games from Germany.
Among the jury members is Dr. Enrique Perez, Head of School: Games, Animation and VFX, who shared their enthusiasm for the process:
“I am so happy to be part of the jury of the Deutscher Computerspielpreis. It is very inspiring to see so much talent and to be able to recognise the hard work of game developers in Germany. It is also a great opportunity to network with colleagues and discuss the game concepts and genres that are relevant these days and about the contributions game developers want to make to address contemporary challenges.”
The jury, made up of experts from development, publishing, education, and media, evaluates entries based on creativity, innovation, and impact. With categories spanning from Best German Game to Young Talent Awards, the DCP not only celebrates artistic and technical achievements but also highlights the evolving role of games in addressing societal issues.
As Head of School, Dr. Perez brings valuable insight from both industry and education, reflecting our commitment to preparing the next generation of game creators.
Dr. Pérez will also attend the awards ceremony, taking place on May 14, 2025 in Munich. The event promises to showcase the strength and diversity of Germany’s gaming landscape, with titles that push boundaries both creatively and culturally.
