See the nomineesthe*gamehers exists to give women, femme-identifying, and non-binary gamers more visibility, more voice and more power in the gaming world. The awards are how we do that out loud — once a year, in public, with names attached.
The community decides who matters—not a panel. Anyone can be nominated, and self-nominations count just as much as nominations from others. The community votes in every category, and gaming is defined broadly: from casual players and hardcore gamers to techies, streamers, designers, cosplayers, developers, programmers, students, and educators who game.
Celebrate all 100 winners, meet other gamehers, and hear every awards update first — watch parties, game nights and next year's nominations.
Three steps, one rule: the community decides. No judges’ pick, no tiebreaks, no pay-to-play.
Open for seven weeks, self- and peer-nominations weighted the same.
One ballot per member per category. Votes set the shortlist order.
Ten per category, announced October 6.
