Origins Award
The Origins Awards are American awards for outstanding work in the game industry. They are presented by the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design at the Origins Game Fair on an annual basis for the previous year, so (for example) the 1979 awards were given at the 1980 Origins.
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."

Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato

Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.”

“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
