Warwick Student Wins Women in Games Global Award
Anisah “Geomancy” Munim (L) won the award for “University or College Student Portfolio”
Women in Games has announced the winners of their annual global awards, celebrating women’s achievements in gaming and esports. Anisah “Geomancy” Munim, currently in her fourth year of studying French and German at the University of Warwick, won the award for “University or College Student Portfolio” with 5 other recipients from other universities and colleges
Responding to the news on Twitter, Anisah thanked the grassroots esports community for helping her grow within the scene whilst still being a student, with special thanks given to the NUEL (National University Esports League) and Warwick Esports. Her portfolio included her current role as the product manager for NUEL, as well as previous roles as team manager for pro team Resolve and as Media Executive for Warwick Esports.
The Women in Games Global Awards is a celebration of women and organisations working in the games industry and was broadcast across Europe on Sky Channel 433, as well as online. The awards closed off the Women in Games Festival, a “first of its kind”, inviting women in games and their allies from across the world to gather for a collaboration of community and industry partners, providing entertaining, informative and inspiring experiences.
As Anisah enters her final year of undergraduate studies at Warwick, she is already expanding upon her existing portfolio, now a member of the Esports Centre’s student staff team. She is also continuing to organise and champion the NUEL’s Women’s & Non-Binary League of Legends tournament after its successful inaugural year. We are excited to see what else Anisah has to offer, as she continues to embody the enterprising spirit that defines Warwick and its students.
