I was recommended to this forum as a place that would want to know about a new game award in the Midwestern United States.

It takes place at the PopCon pop culture and gaming convention in Indianapolis, Indiana from June 26 - 28, 2015.  All participants exhibit their game at the show just like they would PAX or GDC, but all exhibitors are eligible for the prize.  There is no additional entry fee.

Here's the Gaming Page for the Show: https://indypopcon.com/our-focus-genres/gaming/

And this is the Reboot Awards, specifically: https://indypopcon.com/reboot-indie-game-awards/

What makes our show unique is that we know indie devs are looking for exposure and media primarily, and that's why we invite out popular Let's Players like The Completionist, Markiplier, Lordminion777, and Muyskerm - all of whom will be looking for new games for their channel.

I hope this is helpful to some, and maybe the winner will come from here
