GCCore Arts, owner of DominanceWar.com, UnearthlyChallenge.com, and GameArtisans.org, is the number one provider for online game art events worldwide. GCCore is primarily funded through quota paid by sponsorships and voluntary donations. It receives no government funding. Currently, our quota income is not sufficient to allow us to undertake all the development work that we need to reach our objectives. We therefore have to rely on donations and grants from a range of sources to help us achieve our overall mission. GCCore’s main fundraising event is Dominance War and an increasingly popular Unearthly Challenge. Both these events give game artists a fantastic opportunity to showcase their talents, get employed, make a great portfolio piece, receive recognition for their achievements and enjoy the challenge of competing with fellow artists throughout the world.
The money we get from sponsorships is used to grow the Dominance War Movement across the world. If you would like to help grow GCCore events, then please take part in Dominance War. Each Sponsorship contribution makes a real difference to the lives of student, aspiring, and professional game artists everywhere.
