South Korean game awards ceremony From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Korea Game Awards (Korean: 대한민국 게임대상; RR: Daehan Minguk geim daesang) is an annual South Korean awards ceremony that recognizes "individuals and businesses that have contributed to domestic game industry."[2] The ceremony is organized by the Korea Association of Game Industry (K-GAMES) and presented by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, The Electronic Times and The Sports Chosun in conjunction with the G-Star game trade fair held in Busan in November. It is the largest and most prestigious awards ceremony for games in the country, and has been held yearly since 1996.[3][4][5]

Winners are decided by a combination of judges, game experts and online votes.[6] The Grand Prize, given to the overall best game of the year (also called the President's Award)[7][8] has historically been won almost exclusively by PC games; 2004's Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders is the only console game to win the award.[9] However, in 2014, Blade for Kakao became the first mobile game to win,[10] and since then several mobile games have won the award.[4]
