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. The ceremony also recognizes television and film moments in a brand-new category, LGBTQ Geek Entertainment Moment of the Year – celebrating The Last of Us, Doctor Who, Harley Quinn, Nimona, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and The Legend of Vox Machina.
Building on the huge success of the 2023 Awards which were hosted in New York City and saw the honors of the night being shared amongst an incredibly diverse lineup of games, content creators and companies, the Gayming Awards are set to grow even more as it pivots to a virtual, pre-recorded show.
The show is being produced by the creative powerhouse of Nathan Noyes and Ian Devoglaer (The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula) and will broadcast on April 7th at 2pm PT (5pm ET/10pm UK) on Gayming Magazine’s Twitch and TikTok accounts. There will also be a Spanish language co-stream on TikTok and a captioned stream on YouTube, greatly increasing the accessibility and reach of the Gayming Awards.
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.
The contenders for the coveted Game of the Year title encompass an impressive lineup with Baldur’s Gate 3, Final Fantasy XVI, Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Thirsty Suitors, Spider-Man 2, and Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical.
In recognition of outstanding contributions and commitment to inclusivity in the gaming industry, the nominees for the Industry Diversity Award showcase a remarkable array of companies and organizations trailblazing the way for diversity: Humble Games, Larian Studios, Latinx In Gaming, Qweerty Gamers, Roll7 and Women in Games International.
In honor of the vibrant streaming community, where gamers unite to share their passions, the nominees for the LGBTQ+ Streamer of the Year Award are Apothicdecay, Eevoh, Elix, EspeSymone, Halfmoonjoe, MysticKittenn, Sheilur, and SpringSims.
The Gayming Awards are sponsored by TikTok, Devolver Digital, Logitech G and Art & Rev, and supported by Humble Games, Zynga, Out Making Games, Qweerty Games and NYC Gaymers.
Full nominations for the Gayming Awards 2024 were announced on January 9, 2024. For more information, head to gaymingawards.com and follow Gayming Magazine on all socials @gaymingmag
