Rainbow Roll Fest exists to celebrate and honor innovation and achievements in the field of TTRPG Actual Play, with a particular focus on shows led by LGBTQIA+ people. We are an online festival that aims to showcase a wide variety of Actual Play content.
Your show is a good fit for our audio track if:
1.The show is based primarily around voice performance
2. If hosted on a video-based platform like YouTube or Twitch, the show may have static or dynamic overlays as a complement to voice performance
3. The show is available on at least one major podcast player
Your show is a good fit for our video track if:
1. The show is based primarily around video capture of performer’s faces and/or bodies (including v-tubers)
2. The show features actors filmed in-studio or captured remotely via online recording (Zoom, OBS, etc.)
3. The show features detailed animation sequences
We do require that your show choose one track to compete in, and we reserve the right to decline your choice if it does not fall within the above guidelines.
All shows entering the fest are automatically considered for our awards, with the exception of Outstanding Player (Audio, Video) and Outstanding Original Music. Shows must self-nominate for those awards using our application form.
