Thx, and no money?

i mean its okay, but i need to find something that can be awarded money after winning a game jam

Can you suggest any game jam that is free?

Gamejams are not about money or winning, but if you want a chance at winning a cash prize...

If there was a cash prize I would advertise it, but I don’t have PayPal or any way to give out one if I wanted to. It’s all for fun, experience, and to get valuable feedback on your games

Honestly I'm in it for the trophy. It's a unique one of a kind ORIGINAL PossiblyAxolotl original. How can you compete with that?

You really wouldn't want to compete in paid game jams. It'd just be gamed by pros, who would cheat to win. It also ruins any chance of making truly creative, imaginative or interesting projects, as most people will opt for a safe bet. Just look at the state of the AAA industry.

Paid game jams are definitely not a great way to earn money, even if you're really good. I mean, look at some of the games that got submitted to this unpaid jam by single person teams - if there's actual money on the line, you're gonna see stuff on the level of Tears of the Kingdom getting submitted by trained professionals (even discounting the possibility of cheating). I love free jams because there really isn't any competition. I don't begrudge the games in "first place" because we're all just out here making games!
