Since 2020, the Pégases awards ceremony has been held annually to honour the best French and international video game productions, as well as artistic creations and talents in France. Its aim is to highlight the excellence of the national industry and establish video games as the Tenth Art within the cultural industries.
The winners of the awards bestowed by the Academy of Video Game Arts and Techniques receive a “Pégases”, a magnificent trophy representing one of the most famous creatures in Greek mythology. The winners are chosen each year not by a small jury, but by the more than 2,800 professional members of the Academy of Video Game Arts and Techniques, who vote in two rounds. Each member’s vote is secret.
