Why Serve on a Fantastic Arcade Committee?

We are seeking new voices to shape the reality of Fantastic Arcade and Games Y’all. Maybe you love what we do and want to get more involved. Maybe you’re seeking community, skill-building, or professional development. Or maybe you’ve got some spare time on your hands and want to spend it co-creating a community you love.

Who We're Looking For

We strive for strong representation of BIPOC, disabled, LGBTQIA+, women, and gender non-binary individuals in our leadership to best serve our diverse community. Folks of identities that are underrepresented in the games industry are especially encouraged to apply (whether you work in the industry or not).

This year we are particularly interested in candidates with skills or interest any of these areas:

Outreach and community building
Event production
Photo and video documentation for events
Web support in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Committee Basics

Committee terms are a 1 year commitment
- Term limits are also 1 year. We encourage taking breaks or trying new roles to allow space for new folks.
- Members may apply to re-join a prior role after a break or if the spot is unable to be filled.
Individuals may serve on up to 2 committees at the same time.
In line with our value of nurturing an inclusive, trusting, and supportive space - all Committee members* must serve a 3-month term on the Mod Squad.
