Indeed, the company has just announced on itsdeveloper blogthat it will present the first-ever Windows Developer Awards, which will celebrate the creativity of UWP developers who released “exciting UWP apps” on the Windows Store last year.

The awards will be given in four main categories:

Last but not least, Microsoft also created a specialNinja Cat of the Year awardthat will “celebrate the developer or experience that we believe most reflects what Windows is all about, empowering people of action to do great things.” This one will be selected by Microsoft’s Windows team, but all other awards will be chosen by the community: the company has just set up adedicated awards websitewhere developers will be able to pick the winners through Thursday, April 27. Microsoft’s Build conference is all about developers, so it’s great to see that the company will put them under the spotlight this year.
