THE TROPHY
A Symbol of Excellence
The CGA trophy represents the creativity, innovation, and passion of Canadian game developers. Originally designed by Society Awards, each trophy is a custom piece crafted to honor the achievements of Canadian gaming talent.
In 2025, the trophy was redesigned by Crystal Sensation, a proud Canadian company also known for creating the iconic JUNO Awards. This new design reflects Canada's rich gaming heritage and forward-looking spirit in interactive entertainment.
