Miss Video Game Announces Finals Move to Arcadia Festival
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 30, 2007 -- Miss Video Game incorporated (MVG) and the Arcadia Festival have officially announced today that the finals event for the Miss Video Game 2007 competition will be moved from its scheduled June date to be held in Montreal, Quebec at the Arcadia Festival from November 9-11 2007. Both organizations have been working to link the events for some time, but made no public announcements until the agreements had been finalized.
The MVG finals will be a featured event during the 3 day gaming festival which attracted over 20,000 attendees during its 2006 edition. Arcadia Festival is the largest gaming event in Canada that celebrates gaming culture through musical, artistic, experiential and educational platforms all brought together in a fast-paced, fun-filled environment.
MVG co-founder Mark Donovan had this to say about the move, "We're thrilled to be hosting our finals round at Arcadia. Anyone who has ever been to an event hosted by the promotions team behind Arcadia knows that they bring gaming to a new level both logistically and aesthetically. We believe that our vision for the future of gaming is highly aligned with the Arcadia team and our partnership will allow us to bolster our brand, technology and most importantly introduce the winner of Miss Video Game 2007 to 20,000 loyal gamers from across North America. I think that our five finalists will give the attendees of the festival a great show of hard-core gaming and add to the amazing atmosphere of the event."
Arcadia Festival co- founder François Décarie expressed the following: "Hosting the Miss Video Game Competition is in line with our mission which is to bring together all walks of life related to gaming including top female gamers. I'm sure that the level of competition generated by the finalists would give a challenge to any gamer. We are excited about our partnership with MVG. This is just one element of what the Arcadia Festival will put forward to gaming enthusiasts this fall. Our focus revolves around providing experiences through high quality production and exciting programming."
