Australian fighting game event runners and community. Hosts of BAM: Battle Arena Melbourne, Australia's largest fighting game/open entry esports event.
We are pleased to announce Battle Arena Melbourne 10’s official cosplay competition! Join us in your best fighting game costume for a chance to win some awesome prizes and your very own BAM10 Trophy! Not only is BAM Australia’s biggest fighting game event, it’s a gaming and esports festival, so we would like to invite everyone to appear in character!
This year’s event is proudly supported by Madman Anime Festival and Animelab!
As BAM has grown, we need more people to help make everything run smoothly, helping the event and community while still having time to enjoy and have fun.
So if you have some spare time to assist, whether it be during Friday setup, Sunday packdown, or during the main events on Saturday and Sunday, please click here for the Volunteers Application Form.
Volunteering for BAM makes you a part of the event, helps your fellow players and spectators, and is heaps of fun! While you’re rostered on in alternating shifts, you are a friendly face of the community, and in your down time you get to take part.
Based on your shift, each volunteer will also be provided food and drink, entry to the event and afterparty, and our ongoing thanks!
So let us know if would you like to join the CouchWarriors BAM10 team, we need you!
Calling all artists! Battle Arena Melbourne 10 is not just a major esports tournament, but a gaming convention too. We are taking applications for artists who want to hold a table at the event, where you can display and sell your artwork. Apply here: http://bit.ly/bam10artist
