The World Game Awards strongly supports independent developers.
We believe extraordinary ideas come from everywhere, and we provide a global stage for ambitious creators whose games deserve to be seen, played, and celebrated by the world.

Whether it’s a small student project or a bold one-person passion game, we recognize vision, creativity, and heart above all.
