Frequently asked questions

The Indie Games Awards (The IGAs) is an annual awards-only ceremony dedicated to honoring excellence in indie gaming. Featuring categories that celebrate innovation, storytelling, artistry, and more, The IGAs spotlight compelling and groundbreaking titles from around the world regardless of popularity. The ceremony is developer-focused, with game creators taking center stage to present awards, recognize their peers, and openly speak without the pressure of time constraints. From the initial planning phase through to the premiere and beyond, the IGAs are shaped by a wide-ranging collaboration of professionals across the games industry, rather than any single organization or outlet. This collective effort creates a true celebration of indie games and the developers who passionately bring them to life.

The IGAs 2026 will premiere on December. Additional details will be shared throughout the year.
