[edit] The Zeebys
In 2007, Gamezebo and the Casual Games Association jointly launched the Zeebys, a set of awards recognizing the best in casual games each year. The awards are divided into two categories: the People’s Choice Awards are voted on by the general public, while the Craft Awards are voted on by registered members of the Casual Games Association.
The Zeeby award winners for 2006 were announced in Amsterdam, The Netherlands as part of CGA Europe: West 2007.
