Aimed at new or smaller streams, the Cypher Stream Creator Fund offers a $500 grant, plus promotional assistance from MCG, to selected creators. The requirements, in overview, are:
- MCG-related content. Obviously, we’re looking for streams of MCG games or properties. We might give preference to streams related to currently available and supported game lines, but that’s not a requirement.
- Novel and original content. We aren’t looking for product reviews, streams of convention panels or similar events, or overt self-promotion. Maturity level should top out at PG-13 or so. Beyond those restrictions, we’re open to your creativity—and the more interesting your content will be to the community, the more likely it will be selected!
- Timely launch. Your stream must launch between January and May 2025. You must stream via The Anywhere Door (MCG’s realm on the forthcoming Moonbeam platform), but may also stream to other platforms simultaneously.
How To Get Involved
Applications for the Cypher Stream Creator Fund will open in August and run through the month of September. MCG will choose a number of pitches from among the submitted applications, and those streamers will receive grant funds to spend however they see fit in the production of their programs. Selected applicants will receive:
- A $500 grant for their project
- Social media support from MCG for the launch of their project
- Additional prize support for audience giveaways
- Approved streamer status on The Anywhere Door, MCG’s Moonbeam realm
If you have a great idea for a fun or interesting MCG-related stream, the Cypher Stream Creator Fund may be a great way to get it going!
