(TORONTO, CANADA) -- The EMMA Foundation, a British-based not for profit organization which encourages the creative, technical and professional development of digital media on a worldwide basis, today released its list of finalists for the Electronic Multimedia Awards (EMMAs).

"This year was an exciting time for the EMMAs," said John Rodgers, Chief Executive of the EMMA Foundation.
