AviaGames earned recognition at the 2026 Shorty Awards with its Wonderland Wishes campaign. It was named a finalist in the Video Series category.
The Shorty Awards honor creative digital work. Well-known brands like Spotify and Disney have joined before, showing the level of competition. This makes the recognition for AviaGames even more meaningful.
The campaign connected gameplay with giving back. In Solitaire Clash, players earned Wish Stars while playing. AviaGames turned these into donations for Foster Love.
During five weeks, players collected over 691 million Wish Stars. This resulted in a total donation of $136,000.
AviaGames teamed up with Leo Gonzalez to help tell the story. They also produced a video series in Colombia, even with a tight schedule.
The campaign included a livestream and a final event in Los Angeles, where people helped build care packages and bikes for foster youth.
The Beyond the Game series added real-life stories, like Laura’s, to show the campaign’s impact.
In addition, the campaign was also named a finalist at the Digiday Video & TV Awards.
