SXSW GAMING AWARDS These awards recognize the greatest titles, teams, and indi- viduals from across the gaming industry. Since its premiere in 2014, the show has exploded in attendance to become a must-see stop for thousands of attendees during SXSW Gaming. In addition to highlighting the best that the gaming industry has to offer, the SXSW Gaming Awards ceremony also provides great entertain- ment with a star-studded lineup of hosts and entertaining per- formances. Previous emcees and guests include Jacksepticeye, Rachel Quirico, Markiplier, Janet Varney, Starbomb, Cirque du Soleil, and many more. Whether you work in the industry or are simply a fan who loves games as much as we do, take a look at how you can be a part of the magic at the 2018 SXSW Gaming Awards. COMMUNITY GRANTS We created the SXSW Community Grant to recognize good work being done within local commu- nities and help further that work by funding a project or program. This program encourages qual- ified 501(c)(3) public charities to apply for a grant up to $7,000 to continue or develop a new project or program.
