Hi, everyone!
Originally, competition winners were to be published in a student journal. We've since partnered up with the digital review, a journal specializing in just the sort of work we're looking for, and will be publishing winners there in a 2023 issue.
Please note the following changes to the jam site:
*PRIZE CHANGES*
To encourage participation from a wide variety of people, we offer the following prizes:
- 馃敼 Panel winner (x 1): $500 in compensation and publication in the digital review. This prize is awarded by our panel of judges.
- 馃敼 Runners-up (x 2 or 3): Publication in the digital review. This prize is also awarded by our panel of judges.
- 馃敼 Popular winner: Publication in the digital review. This prize is chosen through itch.io鈥檚 jam voting system by jam participants. It goes to the highest ranked piece that has not been selected as the panel winner or as a runner-up.
- 馃敼 Anywhere from 4 to 5 pieces will be chosen for publication in a 2023 issue of the digital review.
*RULE CHANGES*
- 馃敼 3. Submissions need not be new, previously unpublished, nor expressly created for this jam. !! Change on April 15th, 2022 !! Pieces chosen for publication must be removed from itch.io a few months before the digital review issue that features them goes live. If you have published (a version of) your piece elsewhere, please contact the jam host at critcreaphil [at] gmail [dot] com to determine its eligibility for the competition.
As always, please shoot us an email at critcreaphil [at] gmail [dot] com with any questions or concerns you might have, and happy making!
