Welcome to our very own Game Jam competition at PAX Online 2020! 

I’m sure you’ve cleared your schedule for the next nine days for PAX Online, so why not clear it up even more with a Game Jam! 

Create a team or go solo, it’s all up to you. Make sure you have an itch.io account and follow the link to join the jam.  We’ll start the Jam on Sunday 13 September at 3.30pm AEST - set yourself a reminder because you don’t want to miss the chance on winning $750 AUD and there's also $150 AUD  up for highly commendable submission!

All entries will be judged by our gaming academics from Billy Blue College of Design at Torrens University Australia and Media Design School in New Zealand.

Judging will be based on execution and theme. These criteria are left vague to hopefully give you, the designer, an opportunity to design openly and creatively.

The game jam ends on Wednesday 16 September, 11.59pm AEST. Judges will review and announce the winner on Monday 21 September, 11am AEST on https://www.twitch.tv/billybluecollegeofdesign
