1. 20 years of Gandi: design a collector t-shirt and win a print of it, or even a Fairphone!

Gandi’s 20th anniversary celebration is underway, and we’re taking you on a 20th anniversary journey through space and time. The first step is to create your spatio-temporal explorer’s uniform. Our t-shirt design studio is open to let your imagination run wild. Try your luck to become one of our top three designers by sharing your creation on Twitter. Many prizes are at stake!

2. Prepare to register your .gay domain name

With the launch of the new .gay domain, the entire LGBTQ community now has a dedicated digital space. Available to companies, individuals, and organizations supporting the community, .gay ensures greater visibility, clear access to services and pertinent information, and the security of LGBT communities online.

Get ready to register your .gay domain in the (short) Sunrise phase (reserved for holders of TMCH) until March 31, 2020.

3. Go from zero to posting in 15 minutes flat

15 minutes—that’s the average length of an office coffee break. But it’s also how long it takes to go from nothing to making blog posts! From domain name registration to the publication of your first article, we guide you step by step to launch your online presence!

3, 2, 1, GO!
