Dutch game award

The Dutch Games Prize ( Dutch Nederlandse Spellenprijs ) is a game prize that has been awarded since 2001. The award ceremony takes place every October at the game fair Spellenspektakel in Eindhoven . A list of nominations will be announced in July, with games with Dutch rules to choose from that were released between June 1 of the previous year and May 31 of the current year. The winner may use a "Nederlandse Spellenprijs - Jahr - winnaar" logo and the nominees may use a "Nederlandse Spellenprijs - Jahr - genomineerd" logo . The winner has been determined by an eleven-person jury since 2012. As of 2013, there will be the “Expert Game” award, similar to the German Kennerspiel des Jahres .

The Dutch association Ducosim is behind the award.
