The GAMA Horizons Fellowship has opened applications for the 2024/2025 season. Now in its fourth year, the Fellowship offers benefits to businesses “at least 51% owned and/or operated by members of historically underrepresented communities based on (but not limited to) race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and ability”.
The Fellowship includes four possible application paths within two categories: Publishers can apply as prospective publishers seeking to publish a new tabletop game or start a tabletop gaming business, or newly established publishers already producing tabletop games. Retailers can apply as prospective retailers in the process of opening a tabletop game retail business or newly established retailers currently engaged in the sale of tabletop games to end customers.
Recipients of the Fellowship receive a one year membership to GAMA, a $1000 grant for business or operational expenses, travel stripends and lodging for both the GAMA Expo and Origins Game Fair in 2025 along with booth opportunities, and access to virtual classes and panels featuring industry experts and leaders.
Applications are open from July 1, 2024, to July 22, 2024, ending at midnight Pacific time. Full details and requirements are available on the Horizons Fellowship website.
