This round of applications includes all on-site positions as well as Remote Hosting and Host Judging/Host Committee. Applications for additional remote positions will open at a later date.
When volunteer applications are open, you can apply via the button found on your profile page.
Volunteer applications typically are open at the same time as game submissions, and selections are typically announced at the same time as the games list. These dates can be found on the left side of the Games Done Quick homepage.
You receive a guaranteed badge so you can get into the event without paying a registration fee. If your work or school requires a community service form, or a proof of volunteering, you can request that from us as well for documentation. If you plan on attending regardless of your volunteer status, please make sure you register and pay to attend. If you are selected as a volunteer, you will receive a full refund for that registration.

Volunteering is the best way to work towards a staff position at GDQ. However, volunteering is not a guaranteed path, and GDQ is typically not hiring for most positions. If GDQ is externally hiring for a position, we will post a job description on gamesdonequick.com/jobs. Volunteer coordinators cannot assist you in job prospects.
Email us at volunteer@gamesdonequick.com and we'll do our best to answer any additional question you have!
