Winners 2024
On Wednesday, 23 October 2024, the SAE Awards were presented for the 19th time across 15 categories. This prestigious ceremony celebrates outstanding projects by students and alumni from SAE Institutes worldwide.
Host Matilda Nettervik led the entertaining live show on stage. The highly coveted SAE Awards have become a crucial career milestone for emerging talent in the creative fields. This year saw 274 entries from over 25 campuses, a testament to the awards’ popularity. The crystal trophy honors exceptional work in audio, film, games, music, VFX, content creation and web productions, offering not only high recognition but also a powerful boost to students’ and alumni’s careers in the media industry.

A very special moment in this Award Show was the live act from Frieda with the song Espinado (thorned heart).
The award selection process consists of two stages. First, each SAE location worldwide nominates their best works across all 15 categories. Then, each location assigns points to the top three projects, without the ability to vote for their own submissions—a process similar to the Eurovision Song Contest.
Congratulations to all the winners and participants of the SAE Awards 2024!
