Hey all, we are working on updating the Terms and Conditions right now but I wanted to let you know that international jammers now ARE eligible for the prizes and grants. Thanks for bringing this up otherwise I don't think it would have happened and the Jam will be all the better because of it!

Thanks for bringing these topics up and we are working to see how we can make the cash prizes available to international jammers. A couple things that might be worth highlighting in the meanwhile and that we should have done a better job of making clear at the beginning:
- Games from international teams are still eligible for Honorable Mention Awards and can still get featured at the IndieCade festival
- Someone asked this question earlier: if a submission has at least one US citizen that submission is eligible for $ prize and then can be divided up among the rest of the team regardless of citizenship. What a team does with the $1,000 is none of any of the organizers' business.
I know this is an imperfect solution but as I said LabX is working with some legal and accounting folks at the National Academy of Sciences to figure out how to ensure international entries are eligible.. We will make an announcement as soon as there are any updates. Thanks again for bringing all this up and sorry for the confusion.
