The Creatures of the Night return and they're on the prowl... and it's up to YOU to make them come to life... IN THIS JAM!!!
The Moth & Shadows Jam is a Jam that hopes to prepare for a Halloween Bundle! Despite the flavorful name, this Jam and this Bundle accepts all Halloween-y and Monstrous-y projects.
It's around that dewey time of year when the monsters are on the prowl and the creatures of the night lurk in the shadows. Whether you come across a Mothman or some other creature of the dark, if you love Monsters, this Jam is for you!
This Jam welcomes all sorts of projects, anywhere between short stories, light novels, comics, art books, and more!
I'll be hosting a Bundle for this Jam as well, if you'd like to join it please fill out this survey! Please note that the Bundle will be a curated selection.

FAQs
If I already made something like this, can I submit it without making something new?
If you have something relating to the Prompt then go ahead and submit it! Otherwise, consider this Jam a challenge to help you have fun with drawing monsters, moths, or shadow adjacent things!
Can I start working on my Project before the Jam starts?
Of course!!! Start whenever you'd like, just try to meet the deadline if you want to join the bundle!
Are paid Projects allowed?
Sure! I always advocate for artists getting paid for their art! Though, I can't promise I'd buy it as a broke university student. I recommend leaving it free for a short period or at least for the duration of the Jam so others and myself can read and discover your work, however it is completely 100% your decision/optional!
Are Fan works allowed?
Sure, I don't see why not! They probably just won't be allowed/included in the bundle, but are totally fine for the Jam!
Are we allowed to collaborate with another artist or writer for this Jam?
Collaboration is allowed so long as the submission is properly credited to those who contributed! If you decide to make your work available for commercial use it is the responsibility of you and your partner to decide how you'll divide the funds amongst yourselves.
Does this Jam have a Winner?
No, I'm hosting it mostly to support Artists I know, and to discover Artists I don't know!
GOOD LUCK!
