Hi! I have a question about the Physics Jam 2026.

I noticed that the rules say the competition is open only to South African residents with an active South African bank account. Is it possible for developers from other countries to participate in the jam, either individually or as part of a team with a South African resident?

Also, I’m curious why the competition is limited to South African residents. Is this because of the prize eligibility, sponsorship requirements, or is the entire jam intended only for South African developers?

I’d really appreciate some clarification. Thank you!

Hello! The jam is intended for South African developers. We are a South African studio that created Physics Jam to encourage local developers to experiment with physics-based game design! You are welcome to participate as in individual if you'd like to do so just for fun, but please do not submit your game for judging as that just creates unnecessary extra work for the judges if you are not eligible for prizes.
