Bigger, better, geekier – we’ve won Arts Council funding for GEEK 2013

We’re delighted that we’ve been awarded Arts Council funding for GEEK2013, the second-year edition of our festival of gaming.

Last year’s GEEK2012 was a white-knuckle ride – if it had flopped we’d have had a nasty financial bump. Fortunately the hard work of all those involved – and the support of the ticket-buying public – made the festival a success.

The Arts Council funding will help us take GEEK2013 to even geekier heights – stay tuned for more news as we’re busy hatching plans.

We want to hear from more sponsors, games people, and fringe eventers

There’s still much to be done and there are opportunities – and potentially Arts Council funding – for games people and fringe eventers. We want to hear from:

• Sponsors. We’d love to hear from further sponsors – we want to put your name up in lights (well, on a banner and in adverts at least). Maybe you can help us fund a free-ticket day.

• Games people. Get in touch if you’re a developer who wants to test a game, a game-maker who wants to demo or sell your game, or if you have an idea for a workshop.

• Fringe eventers. Last year’s ranged from games-themed poetry to a theatrical mystery and chip-tunes disco. Tell us your idea and we’ll try to find a way to get your game-face on.
So don’t keep your geek-tastic thoughts to yourself – get in touch.
