Can you enter a game jam if you are the host of said game jam?

Hi everyone! I looked around a bit but I haven't been able to find a clear answer, so I thought I'd ask here. 

Let's say I want to host my own game jam, and I also want to make my own game to submit to it! Is this allowed? Am I allowed to make a game for my own jam?

More importantly, is it possible? Does being a host physically prevent you from being able to submit a game into the jam?

(Extra info: The jam wouldn't be ranked/have any prizes to win. It'd all just be about following a theme for fun.)

Please let me know, thanks in advanced!

There is nothing about our system that limits hosts from entering their own jam. Keep in mind any ethical considerations if you have voting or prizes involved, as it may cause other participants to trust you less as a host!

Awesome, thank you so much!
