Hey everyone! 

Since the value of the prize pool has gone up significantly there has been some concern over the possibility of people getting a head start for a better chance at the prizes. There is a new criteria under "Ranking" titled "Use of Theme".  The theme will still be optional but for the best chance at placing it would be best to utilize the theme in your game. I am hoping this creates an even playing field for everyone who wants a chance at prizes when the theme is announced at the start of the jam.

Furthermore, ranking will be limited to those who submit and contribute to the jam to discourage skews in voting due to vote manipulation/review bombing.

Thanks!
