The '''Origins Awards''', presented by the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design, are presented at the [[Origins International Game Expo]] for outstanding work in the game industry. Awards are given for the previous year, so (for example) the [[1979]] awards were given at the [[1980]] expo.

Originally, the ''[[Charles Roberts Awards]]'' were given out at the Origins Expo, in five categories: ''Best Professional Game'', ''Best Amateur Game'', ''Best Professional Magazine'', ''Best Amateur Magazine'' and ''Adventure Gaming Hall of Fame''. In [[1978]], the Expo also hosted the 1977 ''[[H. G. Wells]] awards'' for [[Roleplaying games]] and [[Miniature wargaming]]. Starting with the [[1987]] awards, the Charles S. Roberts were once again given separately, but they have since moved away from the Origins Expo.

Since the first ceremony, the game categories have widened to include [[Board games]] (Traditional, [[Historical]] and [[Abstract]]), [[Card games]] (Traditional and [[Collectible card game|Trading]]), [[Miniature wargaming]] ([[Historical]], [[Science Fiction]] and [[Fantasy]]), [[Roleplaying games]] and [[play-by-mail game]]s. There are additional categories for [[Graphic Design]], for game expansions and accessories, and for game-related [[fiction]]. During the [[1980s]] and [[1990s]] awards were also given to [[Computer games]]. Starting in 2003, the Origins Awards began a new category called the Vanguard Award, which honored highly innovative games.

The Origins Award is commonly referred to as a [[Calliope]], as the statuette is in the likeness of the [[Muse]] of the same name. Academy members frequently shorten this name to "Callie."
