The Impy Awards was an annual event run by Media Molecule and PlayStation to celebrate the best creators in the Dreams community. It was a season of events that included playable in-game experiences, live streams and an awards show.
In 2022, in the midst of continuing pandemic measures, we pre-recorded the awards show on a stage at The Boileroom in Guildford, and broadcast as live on Twitch.
In 2023 the award had its final show and went back to being live streamed from Media Molecule, where we created a virtual stage in a green screen studio.
To support the online event, we created a social media campaign that promoted the show and celebrated previous winners.
