❤ Welcome all! ❤
The 411:
Glam Jam is inspired by the "girl games" movement of the 90's and 00's, a sometimes misguided but very entertaining attempt to appeal to the tastes (and pocket money) of tweenaged girls. Often centred around stereotypically feminine interests like fashion, baking or caring for something, the genre has nevertheless left a purple, bedazzled impression on our hearts.
Tap into nostalgia for this genre or react to, redesign or reinterpret it.
Time frame- The entire month of January.
Winners announced- 15th of February.
