SAGE Awards

The SAGE Awards celebrate the South Australian video game development sector with two exciting awards to be won.

  • The SAGE: Elevate Award for the best game in the Elevate section, with a prize of $1,000 of legal services provided by SAGE partner Cam Rogers Legal. In 2025 this was awarded to Daniel D’Cruz and Rupert (Ru) McPharlin of The RnD Department for CUBE, a satisfying puzzle platformer where you guide a colourful cube through an evolving abstract landscape. 
  • The SAGE Award for Best in Exhibition, with a $2,000 cash prize for the best game overall, provided by the SAFC. In 2025 this went to David Ashby, Dario Russo and Tyler Roach of Powerbomb Games for their game Pro Jank Footy – a fun Australian rules football game fusing action-packed retro arcade-style gameplay with absurd Aussie humour.

“As a major spotlight for South Australian developers, SAGE was a success in every way!”
