🌍  What is Code for a Cause x Micro Jam?

Code for a Cause is a game jam where your creativity can make a real world influence, and Micro Jam is a biweekly game jam that has been running for over a year! Both Jams have 1 thing in common: we love to distribute cash prizes to the winners. But what makes this Jam so special is the mix of charity and game development!

How does this work?

• The total prize pool is split up, spread to the podium and any special awards
• 50% of each prize is then donated to a charity of the winners' choice 💙

Don't forget to join the Discord community! (Also a requirement to be eligible for the prizes):
