Winners 2023
These are the best works by students and alumni 2023: On Thursday, 12 October 2023, the SAE Awards were presented for the 18th time in a total of 16 categories. The awards ceremony recognises outstanding productions by students and alumni from all SAE Institutes worldwide.
Host Matilda Nettervik led the entertaining show live on stage. The coveted SAE Awards are an important career stepping stone for young talent into the creative industries. 569 entries from over 30 cities in 26 countries impressively underline how coveted the SAE Awards are. Because awarding the crystal trophy to students and alumni with outstanding film, games, music, VFX and web productions is not only motivating recognition, but also a coveted booster for a career in the media industry.
SAE Awards 2023 host Matilda Nettervik and Peter Pulfer, CEO Alumni Association
The award winners are selected in a two-stage process. First, all SAE locations worldwide can submit what they consider to be the best work for all 15 categories. Then the locations award points for the best three projects, without being able to vote for their own work – very similar to the Eurovision Song Contest.
