Q: What is Amplifying New Voices?
A: Amplifying New Voices (ANV) is a full-day workshop that provides hands-on practice and coaching for high-potential new voices that could become role models for under-represented groups of perspectives in the game industry.

​

ANV is produced by a group of volunteers from around the industry as well as through the AIAS Foundation (a 501c3) and is supported by the Game Developers Conference.

​

A: Certainly! Just email meggan@interactive.org with your nomination or send them the link to apply.

​

Q: Will it help if I submit multiple applications, or have multiple people nominate me?  
A: No. It really only takes one application/nomination. 

​

Q: When will applicants be notified if they’ve been accepted into the Amplifying New Voices workshop?
A: Nominations and applications close January 6, 2025 and applicants will be notified by January 20, 2025. 

​

Q: How and when are stipends paid?
