History:
The award's namesake, Marc A. Levey, a member of the Producers Guild since 1995, recognized that game productions maintained budgets, timelines and revenues that rivaled many of the television and feature films of the time. In 1999, Levey began to spearhead a three-year process within the Producers Guild to recognize, represent and protect the interests of producers working outside the "traditional" formats of television and film. Levey's efforts lead to the official amendment of the PGA's Constitution and the establishment of the Guild's New Media Council. In recognition of Levey's vision, leadership and outstanding service, the PGA officially established this annual service award in his name.
