GenerOZity Live marathon scheduled to run alongside PAX Australia
Generozity is back again this year and running during the PAX weekend. Australia's biggest independent livestream and variety show showcases Australian talent for the world to see!
Check out the information below for the full release!
After a successful crowdfunding campaign, the streaming
marathon GenerOZity – which has raised $66,000 for mental health and
children in need – is set to run again on the 26-28th of October at PAX Australia
inside the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The community-driven crowd funding campaign via Kickstarter reached a resounding
164% of the desired goal, giving GenerOZity the ability to cover
overheads for the increasing show cost. All funds raised are directly injected
into GenerOZity, making it bigger and better.
Travis Eriksen, Executive Producer at Child’s Play said, "For
15 years Child's Play has been supported by community events like GenerOZity.
The money raised during this 2018 PAX Aus extravaganza will help support
over a million children in hospitals across the globe."
The aim of GenerOZity is to bring together as many
Australian and New Zealand streamers, YouTubers, podcasters, and communities to
work directly with teams at Child’s Play and CheckPoint. The marathon’s community is organised and operated to
provide a showcase for local talent on a global stage, with smaller channels
working alongside national giants, and all working together for a common cause.
Jennifer Hazel, Founder/Director of CheckPoint said, “GenerOZity
is an incredible event that never fails to inspire me. Over the course of three
days, you see content creators from all walks of life all working toward an
incredible cause, clearly having a great time, and fostering a sense of social
connectivity and community. The audience get involved and there's this really
awesome sense of being together even if they are hundreds of miles apart. I
can't wait to see how this unfolds at PAX, and I hope it becomes a staple in
everybody's schedule over the weekend!”
The live streamed marathon will be broadcasted from the
second floor of the Convention Centre directly across from the Kookaburra
Theatre, and simulcasted over multiple streaming platforms – allowing for a
greater reach than ever before with added crowd engagement through a physical
viewing space.
GenerOZity is offering
more crowd-engaging content on Saturday October 27, from 9:30 PM - 11:30 with GenerOZity Presents: Speedrun
Everything!
Speedrun Everything is
an attempt to bring the Iron Chef model to gaming. Teams of Australian
cosplayers, musicians, and artists will compete to create the best example of
their work within a very strict time window, using only the tools and materials
given. The panellists will be judged in creativity, “looksound,” and
resourcefulness by a panel of influencers. The winner gets a jolly nice pat on
the back and a good, warm feeling inside.
Luke Lancaster, Content Manager for PAX Aus said, “Four
times before GenerOZity has brought out the best in the Australian
gaming community. I can’t convey how proud we are to welcome GenerOZity 5
and the sterling charity work they do to PAX Aus 2018.”
For PAX Australia GenerOZity will be:
- Teaming up to work with Child’s Play and
CheckPoint
- Running a physical performance, with PAX
attendees joining in the fun
- Doing multiple showcases - including livestream,
interactive panels and an afterparty
- Combining online and cash donations with custom
built Tap and Pay stations
- Streaming on multiple platforms to extend reach,
donations and support
- Working with artists to create artwork for
merchandise
