Proposal #112: GNARS PRESENTS: GAME OF PAM 2026 - ROOSEVELT SQUARE

TL;DR

Game of Pam Gnars 2026 is an initiative conceived by Petterson Gomes, known in the skateboarding community as Pamtech, a professional skateboarder since the 2000s and founder of the Game of Pam movement. The project is developed in partnership with Gnars DAO and proposes an event that connects skateboarding, urban culture, social impact, and emerging technologies.

Using skateboarding as a tool for social and urban transformation, Game of Pam promotes inclusion between skateboarders and the broader community, encourages sustainable practices, and experiments with Web3 tools as enablers of impact, transparency, and decentralization.

Project Concept

Game of Pam Gnars 2026 is a multidimensional event that integrates sport, culture, education, and social innovation within an accessible public space. The proposal goes beyond competition, creating an environment for exchange between athletes, artists, independent collectives, and the local community.

The initiative reinforces skateboarding as a cultural language and a community-building tool, fostering new talent, creative entrepreneurship, and the positive occupation of urban space.

Objectives

Encourage youth through sport and urban culture;
Promote the exchange of experiences among athletes, artists, and local communities;
Implement environmentally sustainable practices throughout the event;
Strengthen social inclusion initiatives with a focus on gender, race, age, and LGBTQIAPN+ diversity;
Build a collaborative network connecting collectives, social projects, and independent brands.

Institutional Benefits for Gnars DAO

Placement of the Gnars logo across all event promotional materials (digital and print), including banners, stickers, flyers, social media content, and on-chain digital assets;
Institutional mentions of Gnars during the opening and closing ceremonies;
Collaborative posts on the official Game of Pam and Gnars DAO channels, announcing the partnership and later sharing photo and video content from the event;
Direct connection with a diverse, creative, and culturally engaged audience composed of skateboarders, young creators, independent collectives, and creative economy agents;
Activation of Gnars’ presence in the physical world, introducing its values to participants who typically operate outside the Web3 environment.

This integration encourages participants to explore engagement beyond traditional Web2 platforms, while promoting transparency, collective participation, and sustainable community growth.

An exclusive champion trophy will be developed for the event, based on the card presented above, featuring the inscription:

“Game of Pam – Gnars 2026”
