If I work on a team, is it okay if one person on the team is a US resident and the rest of the team are not (from other countries)? Or does everyone have to be a US resident?
Hi OliviaClark! All entrants in the team must be US residents. If a team is selected as a winner, they will have to sign an affidavit and tax documentation, which is why the contest is for US residents only.
If one person on the team is a US resident though, could they themselves receive the prize money on behalf of the team? I don't see why this would be a problem
Having global prizes is a standard set by most game jams originating from the US. GameName, ThatGameJam, I could go on. If they aren't even willing to let a US origin resident distribute the prize to the rest of the team, surely it is normal to think they might have some ulterior motive in play with such a restriction, considering the burden falls on the receiving participant...
