Gayming Awards 2024 nominees revealed
And the nominees are...
Now in its fourth year, the Gayming Awards, the world’s only LGBTQ video game award show, returns on April 7th, 2024, from Los Angeles, hosted by DEERE and MiladyConfetti.
The celebration of queer geek culture is continuing its journey to become a key player on the global video game stage by heading over to California, the home of the video game industry, with a broadcast set in Los Angeles.
While the original plan was for a live broadcast from Palm Springs, the opportunity to move to LA and produce the show with creative powerhouses Nathan Noyes and Ian Devoglaer (The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula), means that the accessibility and reach of the Awards can be amplified even more with a Spanish language co-stream on TikTok and a captioned stream on YouTube, alongside the main broadcast on Gayming Magazine’s Twitch and TikTok accounts.
Nominees, celebrities, industry professionals and press will gather and celebrate at an exclusive VIP event hosted in Los Angeles on the award’s day itself. Tune in on April 7th at 2pm PT (5pm ET/10pm UK) for a celebration of LGBTQ excellence in gaming!
