Hi, I'm interested in joining the Game Jam, but I have a question about the prizes. What are they? Are they Gift cards or PayPal credits? And if they're PayPal credits, if I don't have a credit card registered on itch.io, will I lose the prize if I win? Thanks in advance.

Hi PAX! You can see the full list of prizes under the Prize Pool + Judging header on the main Overview jam page. (/jam/imaginary-game-jam-2026)

We'll be distributing prizes via Wise or Steam Gift Cards. For full details on receiving cash prizes, please see Rules Reference > Compensation.

Sorry if I'm a bit too insistent, but the $600 prize is split into 300 euros via Wise and Steam gift cards, or is it all Wise, and the theme is revealed on the Discord server or even on the itch.io page. Thanks again.

No worries! You can see the distribution of prizes as follows:

Winners have the option to receive their prize either via Wise or via Steam Gift Card, whichever is more convenient for them.

The theme voting will occur on Discord, but the theme will be announced both in Discord as well as here on the jam page.

Thank you so much again, I joined and I can't wait to start!!!!!!

Thanks for joining us, glad to have you! Reminder that for participants that if you're unable to join the Discord for any reason, please post a reply in the following thread and we'll make sure you're included in the theme announcement video, to receive your own personal theme twist. 🙂
