About the Awards

Honoring excellence in the Dutch game industry since 2007.

Mission & Vision

The Dutch Game Awards aims to promote, highlight and celebrate Dutch games, its 600+ game companies, its 4000+ professionals, and educational institutes and students.

The Dutch Game Awards are an acknowledgement of creativity, skill and business insight of the Dutch game developers. The Awards will be handed out to game companies and entrepreneurs who have distinguished themselves (inter-)nationally the past year.

Background

The Dutch Game Awards was founded in 2007, and was organized by ImproVive for 10 years. After a 4 year break, the Dutch Games Association continued the organization of the Awards in 2021.

With a fresh start came a fresh look! With a new logo, new team and updated Award categories we revamped the annual event while keeping the spirit of the original Dutch Game Awards alive.
