The definitive SMP awards
Awards as they should be. Transparent, fair, meaningful and inclusive, the Team Micro awards are recognised throughout the industry as the gold standard recognition of exceptional talent and innovation.
Since their introduction in 2018, the Team Micro awards have acknowledged and rewarded the best and brightest artists, educators and innovators in SMP.
