My development setup is a bit more than tricky to move. And I love game jams and will make a game around the theme regardless but will I be able to receive any prizes?
Yes. People can participate remotely. The tricky part is prizes, as judges will need to have the game shown to them somehow. We could try some sort of Skype thing, but that gets tricky. That's why I mentioned to be eligible for prizes, someone would need to be able to present the game to the judges. If you don't care about the prizes, that's fine, you can still submit your game to the jam page.
