the*gamehers revamps awards for 2025

Women-focused gaming and esports community platform the*gamehers has unveiled plans to revamp its awards ceremony for 2025.

The awards ceremony will continue to showcase the success of women and femme-identifying individuals across the gaming and esports industries. However, the company aims to highlight these achievements across the year ‘to ensure their lasting impact on the industry is celebrated.’

According to a release, the 2025 edition of the*gamehers Awards will highlight 100 women across a total of 10 categories.

To acknowledge their achievements, the platform will offer award winners exclusive digital features alongside streams highlighting each winner taking place throughout March 2025. In addition, the winners will also receive cash prizes. The exact amount for each award was not disclosed.

The revamp follows the*gamehers’ September announcement that its ceremony is returning in 2025 following a successful 2024. The platform noted that its 2024 ceremony generated over 10m impressions in addition to over 155,000 viewers across various streaming platforms.

Outside of the awards ceremony, the platform has continued to grow and attract investment. In August, it received an undisclosed investment from Dunhill Ventures to accelerate growth by improving its in-app offerings.

Rebecca Dixon, CEO of the*gamehers, spoke on the news: “the*gamehers Awards have always been about more than just recognition—they’re about inspiring change and creating opportunities.

“In 2025, we’re amplifying that mission by celebrating winners not just for one night, but all year long, showcasing their stories and achievements on a global stage. We’re excited to partner with brands, organizations, and our incredible community to make this a truly transformative moment for women and femme-identifying individuals in gaming.”
