Spilprisen (English: The Game Awards) is an annual awards ceremony honoring achievements in the video game industry among games developed in Denmark. Established in 2013, Spilprisen seeks to celebrate the best Danish video games and spotlight the Danish game industry. ^[1] The awards were presented by the Danish Producers Association from Spilprisen's inception through 2024.

For 2025, Spilprisen's administration was shifted to the newly founded industry organization Games Denmark in collaboration with Danish video game news website Arkaden and BC Hospitality Group, which hosted the awards at the Bella Center. ^[2] Previous ceremonies had been held in Copenhagen at AFUK  [ da ], the Kayak Bar, Pumpehuset  [ da ], the Nørrebros Theater, the Queen's Hall, and the Bremen Theater. Two ceremonies were held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021.

Format

As of 2025, Spilprisen provides awards to video games in 10 different categories. A jury of professionals from the Danish gaming industry create the shortlist of nominees and then determine the winners. The Releases jury evaluates most of the awards, while a separate Live Game jury evaluates the award for Best Live Game. Some years involved a Technical jury for the evaluation of games' technical achievements. Starting in 2025, an audience award called Denmark's Favorite Game is also awarded. The award for Best Leap of Faith (formerly Best Emergent Experience) is given for innovation in video game design.

In addition to the game awards, starting in 2019, Spilprisen began providing awards to outstanding new individuals in the Danish video gaming industry in the Talents of the Year category. Individuals are not nominated for any specific area (like "designer" or "programmer") and can come from any facet of the video gaming industry, including development, production, and execution. Nominees for Talents of the Year must have been employed in the industry for no more than 2 years.

From 2013 to 2017, Spilprisen presented an award for the top student showcase of the year, highlighting students' graduation projects from Danish game development programs such as DADIU and the National Film School of Denmark. ^[3] Starting in 2018, the student showcase award was discontinued in favor of a "Best Debut", which was awarded to the year's most outstanding game from a new game studio.
