An ICv2 Release.  "The Origins Game Fair is coming next week, and we wanted to take this occasion to thank the retailers and jurors that honored ICv2 by including us as a nominee for the 40th Annual Origins Awards," ICv2 President Milton Griepp said Friday.  "To be on the same list as John Kovalic’s Dork Tower, Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day’s TableTop, Catalyst’s Fire for Effect and Evil Hat’s Khan of Mars is a great honor."

ICv2 was nominated in the "Best Game-Related Publication" category.  The Origins Awards nominees (see "Origins Nominations Announced") were selected by vote at the GAMA Trade Show. 

Winners will be selected by vote at the Origins Game Fair next week in Columbus, Ohio.  Origins Trade Day, with special programming for retailers and Retailer Appreciation Packages for attendees, takes place next Thursday, June 12th (see "Origins Trade Day 2014").  This is the 40th Origins Awards.  Winners will be announced at a ceremony on Saturday, June 14th.

"We’d like to congratulate all the nominees in all the categories, and look forward to hearing the winners next week," Griepp said.
