2024 Badge Application Process
Origins Game Fair welcomes both traditional and non-traditional media to cover the convention.
If you own a channel/medium with more than 50,000 followers or subscribers on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube, you may request a free media badge to cover Origins Game Fair.
Meeting all the requirements for media registration does not guarantee you a media pass, and there are additional requirements to be awarded a free media badge.
Content Creators/Streamers: You must film on the show floor and cite exhibitors’ products or services shown in your video(s). Vlogs outside the expo, interviews with other content creators, or other content that is not specific to the convention does not fulfil this requirement.
Streaming Channels Only: You must stream from the show and keep a VOD for us to reference after the show, or be able to provide a link. Locations around the convention will be provided to accommodate this requirement.
If you or someone you assign to cover Origins Game Fair does not produce content in a timely manner, it will impact your ability to receive media badges to future instances of Origins Game Fair.
By applying for a media badge, you are giving your consent to Origins Game Fair providing your contact information submitted with the exhibitors at Origins Game Fair.
For channels and creators that aren't approved for the above program, we'll continue to offer a similar program to what was offered starting in 2023:
GAMA Member Badges - Members receive two free full show badges to attend both GAMA EXPO and Origins Game Fair. If you are a Media & Event voting member you are automatically eligible to request your free Media badges. To claim you member badges, click here.
Game Media - If you are not a GAMA Media & Events member and you do not meet the requirements listed above, badges for the show are available for a discounted rate of $50 for a full show badge. Limited to two (2) per game media company. We do not offer single day media badges. To apply for a media badge, please use this form.
Approval for a game media badge still comes with the expectations that you will cover the convention from the show floor and produce content focused on Origins Game Fair in a timely manner. Failure to do so will impact your future media applications with Origins Game Fair.
What is Included with Press & Media Badge for Origins 2024:
Expanded Media First Look Room - Based on the success of this program last year, we are expanding this area where tabletop game press and media will have the chance to see the latest new releases and hottest games. Media will be able to create content focused on the games, but some restrictions may apply based on publisher rules.
Media Lounge & Streaming Studio - We will have space on the convention floor that registered media can reserve to conduct interviews, broadcast from the show, or film content. You must have a media badge to enter this area and schedule the studio to record content. Additional details will be sent closer to the convention.
Early Media Access to the Exhibit Hall - Media members will be permitted early access to the exhibit hall one hour early on Thursday, June 22, starting at 9 a.m.
