Based on votes from a panel of judges, the following categories of awards will be provided (and more will be given as we move along through the jam). We hope that these will accompany your work on your resume/CV as an acknowledgement of the work you have done and the recognition you've received from your peers! It is important to make your work-in-progress visible by posting updates to the Discord #game-jam-chat channel (link to server here: https://discord.gg/yBDhDJj).
- Most Creative Mechanic (Surprising, engaging, clever!)
- Best Take on Theme (Why didn't I think of that?)
- Best Student Submission (You know who you are)
- Best Non-Student Submission (Thanks for joining!)
- Visual Excellence (This looks dope!)
- Code Champ (Did something really impressive code-wise, be sure to share your work on Discord so the judges are familiar!)
- Art Champ (Similar to Code Champ, but for art, highlighting feats of artistry during the jam!)
- Most Time Efficient Visual Style (Not just for cutting corners)
- Early Bird (Awarded for the first "most resolved" submission)
- Top Reporter (Shared the most updates on Discord)
- Theme Master (Used all or most of the provided Theme terms in their jam project, but, how?)
