Origin Awards spada u grupu najprestižnijih odličja za izdavače i dizajnere u našem omiljenom hobiju. Ove nagrade se dodeljuju od 1975. godine na istoimenom sajmu. Tradicionalno u maju se objavljuje lista nominovanih igara.
Nominovane igre bira The Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design (AAGAD). Finalnu odluku o pobednicima će doneti žiri sastavljen od profesionalaca iz industrije društvenih igara.
Ove godine je pridodata kategorija RPG dodatak, tako da ukupan broj kategorija sada iznosi osam. Posetioci Origins Game sajma će imati priliku da glasaju za nagradu publike na licu mesta.
