We took all the information we learned from hosting our first event in mind when creating this new event, Jam for Democracy!

Instead of a longer event, we are doing a 3 day jam starting on a Friday and ending Sunday night.

We launched it earlier to allow more time to advertise the jam. And because its less than a month long, it will be now be seen on the itch jam calendar.

Instead of having a very general theme, we made it much more specific.

We decided that offering a cash prize was not the way to go, it did not increase participation or project submissions. And maybe makes things more competitive in a way that can take the casual fun of jamming down a notch.  So in short, no prizes, just the accolades one would get from the community for creating something awesome, but more importantly the rewarding feeling you get for making something your proud of.

Here is the link to the new jam, its starts October 15th:  https://itch.io/jam/jam-for-democracy
