As announced last month, the 2025 Dutch Game Awards will take place on December 3 during Breda Games Week. But you can already submit your game and buy tickets with an Early Bird discount – RIGHT NOW!
New this year: Developers no longer need to pay a separate fee to submit their game! The Dutch Games Association always strives to implement feedback from its members wherever possible. Based on feedback from previous years, we’ve now decided to combine the game submission process with the ticket sales. Developers who want to submit their game can do so via the Eventbrite page and get the Game Submission + Entrance ticket. Submission includes one ticket to attend the Dutch Game Awards on December 3 at the Early Bird rate of €99,00 (excluding VAT), essentially making the game submission free.
Nominations will be announced in early November. Developers whose games are nominated will receive one additional ticket free of charge.
The process for submitting student games remains unchanged. These can still be submitted for a small admin fee of €2,00, which does not include a ticket. Nominees for Best Student Game will receive a free ticket to the Dutch Game Awards.
Mark your calendars: Game submissions close on September 1, 2025!
