Facebook Gaming allows applications of the Black Creator Program to reopen. It is an innovation aimed to support Black content creators on the platform.
This programme debuted for the first time in December last year with a Facebook commitment to bring $25 million to support Black content creators across Facebook and Instagram. Within two years, $10 million was a commitment especially to provide resources for Black creators to create content for Facebook Gaming.
The programme is part of a wider initiative given by Facebook to invest $200 million into organisations and businesses owned by Black.
After registering successfully, applicants will be officially acknowledged as Facebook Gaming Partners and offered benefits such as invitations to exclusive events, along with mentorship opportunities. Since appearing, this programme has got thousands of applicants and has attracted 42 different content creators.
Second wave
Luis Renato Olivalves, The Facebook Global Director of gaming creator partnerships, said, “ We are so excited to reopen these applications for the Black Gaming Creator Program for the second year and hanker for the next wave coming from great gaming creators at Facebook Gaming”.
Along with lots of partners in the first year, this program is clear evidence showing that the excitement for entertaining is growing up, more diverse, creative and new communities in-game streaming.
Applications for the programme will close on October 29th, 2021.
Facebook Gaming recently has cooperated with Ubisoft to bring additional titles to former’s cloud gaming which now exceeds 25 games and 1.5 million users in the US.
