The Jury

All about the jury 2025

The jury consists of professionals from the Danish gaming industry and is appointed by the executive committee. For several weeks, the jury plays the submitted games, shortlist the nominees and determine the winners through a series of discussions at the final Jury Meeting.

There's a separate jury dedicated to evaluating the two live game categories. This means that there are two juries assessing all submitted games - the Releases jury and the Live Game jury. Members of the Releases jury evaluate the following categories: Best Debut, Best Visuals, Best Audio, Best Game Design, Best Narrative, Best Kids Game, and Game of the Year, while the Live Game jury assesses Best Live Game - Free-to-Play and Best Live Game - Premium Game.

"Spilprisen always strives to honor the remarkable craftsmanship within the Danish games industry. With an increasing number of colleagues focusing on live games, we've formed a dedicated jury this year, comprised of individuals with experience and expertise in this field, to ensure that live games also receive their due celebration."

The majority of the Live Game Jury have not participated in or contributed to the creation of the submitted game. However, in the case where a jury member has been involved in the development of a submitted game, they will abstain from voting and leave the jury meeting when that specific category is discussed. However, they are still allowed to participate in voting for all other categories where there is no conflict of interest.
