The 7th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards was the 7th edition of the Interactive Achievement Awards, an annual awards event that honored the best games in the video game industry during 2003. The awards were arranged by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS), and were held at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 4, 2004 (2004-03-04).
