What can I win?

The winning game developer will receive their choice of either a PS5 Digital Edition, Xbox Series S, or Nintendo switch game console.

welp my roblox horror game will just have to wait, im in

this is so annoying (im not trying to be mean or rude and i understand this is a competition) because some people cant join because of school or work. including me. and i feel like there should be at least one “jam” where you can submit a game that’s already been made or is already in progress. just my opinion.

I’d bet something like that exists, but if it does, it doesn’t count as a game jam.
A game jam is a contest where participants try to make a video game from scratch within a short time limit.
