Windows 10: Windows Developer Awards: Honoring Windows Devs @ Microsoft Build 2017

Brink · Apr 20, 2017

As we ramp up for Build, the Windows Dev team would like to thank you, the developer community, for all the amazing work you have done over the past 12 months. Because of your efforts and feedback, we’ve managed to add countless new features to the Universal Windows Platform and the Windows Store in an ongoing effort to constantly improve. And thanks to your input on the Windows Developer Platform Backlog, you have helped us to prioritize new UWP features.

In recognition of all you have done, this year’s Build conference in Seattle will feature the first-ever Windows Developers Awards given to community developers who have built exciting UWP apps in the last year and published them in the Windows Store. The awards are being given out in four main categories:

App Creator of the Year – This award recognizes an app leveraging the latest Windows 10 capabilities. Some developers are pioneers, the first to explore and integrate the latest features in Windows 10 releases. This award honors those who made use of features like Ink, Dial, Cortana, and other features in creative ways.

Game Creator of the Year – This award recognizes a game by a first-time publisher in Windows Store. Windows is the best gaming platform–and it’s easy to see why. From Xbox to PCs to mixed reality, developers are creating the next generation of gaming experiences. This award recognizes developers who went above and beyond to publish innovative, engaging and magical games to the Windows Store over the last year.

Reality Mixer of the Year – This award recognizes the app demonstrating a unique mixed reality experience. Windows Mixed Reality lets developers create experiences that transcend the traditional view of reality. This award celebrates those who choose to mix their own view of the world by blending digital and real-world content in creative ways.

Core Maker of the Year – This award recognizes a maker project powered by Windows. Some devs talk about the cool stuff they could build–others just do it. This award applauds those who go beyond the traditional software interface to integrate Windows in drones, PIs, gardens, and robots to get stuff done.

In addition to these, a Ninja Cat of the Year award will be given as special recognition. Selected by the Windows team at Microsoft, this award celebrates the developer or experience that we believe most reflects what Windows is all about, empowering people of action to do great things.

Here’s what we want from you: we need the developer community to help us by voting for the winners of these four awards on the awards site so take a look and tell us who you think has created the most compelling apps. Once you’ve voted, check back anytime to see how your favorites are doing. Voting will end on 4/27, so get your Ninja votes in quickly.

Thats' nice looking but regardless, WMM6 is still an excellent program, one that should be allowed for years to come.

Note to everyone: WMM6 did not disappear once I allowed Creators 1703 to install from Windows Updates.

The manual install of 1703 had many glitches a few weeks ago.

Per Microsoft's instructions, allow Creators Build 1703 to download via Windows Updates.

No bugs in this version:
