Hey everyone, and welcome! 👋
We're thrilled to launch the VIBE SUMMER GAME JAM '26, a 100% online, free game jam powered by Qwen AI. Here's the quick rundown:
What is it?
7 days to build a "vibe-coded" game — any genre, any engine, any scope — with Qwen AI as your creative co-dev. Solo or team (up to 3). Beginners are very welcome: this jam was made for you.
Key dates
- Aug 17–24: Registration opens (only 50 slots, first come first served!)
- Aug 25–31: Jam week
- Sep 1–2: Judging (Qwen rep + dev ambassadors + community playtesting)
- Early Sep: Winners announced
The loot
$300 prize pool ($150 / $100 / $50), unlocked if entries hit the quality bar — otherwise winners receive Qwen token drops. Plus: every registered jammer gets $20 in Qwen Cloud credits to use Qwen for free during the event.
How to join
1. Register on the jam page
2. Claim your $20 in credits
3. Build your game Aug 25–31 and submit it here on itch.io
Web games are loved by our judges (faster playtesting = faster glory).
