leaving home is nominated for a lovie award! [news]

A bit of bontegames news: my mobile game 'Leaving Home' has just been nominated for a Lovie award for 'Best Art Direction'! The Lovie Awards are a benchmark for European digital excellence, recognising the people, projects, and ideas shaping Europe's contributions to the internet.
There will be a jury choosing the official award winner, but you can have your say too, because there is also a People's Choice Award! So dear visitor, it would mean a lot to me if you could take a few seconds to cast your vote over here.
The voting process involves entering your email address and creating a password. You’ll then receive an email to confirm your vote. A little bit of effort, I know, but I’d be incredibly grateful!
You helped me win a People’s Choice Webby Award for Green a few years ago, so perhaps I’ll soon be able to show you a picture of myself holding another shiny award :) Thank you so much for your support!
