my game jam is not showing up

I have a game jam that is staring in 33 days.  I created it a few months ago.  Could someone please put in on the game jam page so that it will show up?  Thank you.

In addition to not showing jams that last a very long time to prevent clogging up the calendar, we also have basic quality guidelines about jams before they can be listed.

If I’m looking at the jam you’re referring to, then it does not meet our quality guidelines. A jam page that is just an image with absolutely no other information is not suitable for our calendar. You’re welcome to share it with your own audience though.

Thanks

My game jam does have a full description.  But, for some reason, it does not display.  It this because it has not started yet?  Here is all the details, you can see it here:  https://itch.io/jam/314176/edit

Also, I think I did mark it as visible.  Does this help?  Thank you.

DOH!  I have to remember that the edit page can only be accessed if I am logged in.  However,  I DID include all of the details about my jam.  But for some reason it is not being displayed.  Again, it it because it has not started yet?  Would you like a screenshot of the game jam with all of the details.  Thank you.

As described in the submission details section, that information is only shown to someone who is in the act of submitting their game. I recommend looking at the preview of the jam’s page to see what a visitor to the page would see.

Edit: I also want to add, jams that are effectively “Please make this very specific game for me” are not appropriate candidates for being promoted on our jam calendar. As always, you’re welcome to advertise your jam to your own audience.

Have you solved that problem now? I'm in the same problem.. :( Please reply me thank you.

Your jam is set as Unlisted. Check the visibility settings on the bottom of the jam’s edit page.

Ah, that was for testing, and the published jam on the another account is showing now. Thank you for your reply!

Have you solved the issue?

To be honest, my game jam is STILL NOT showing up.  I hope someone displays it soon.  The issue has NOT been solved.  I do not think I can solved this issue unless one of the moderators displays my game jam.  Thank you for reaching out to me, Nonfictions and K-Ellie.

I have the same issue, as well. :(

I've let an admin know. That's all I can do as a moderator. Does your jam have a long duration? That would prevent it from being shown in the calendar. But keep in mind that you can always advertise it by other means, once it's public and running.

No Time To Play - THANK  YOU VERY MUCH!  My jam is about two months.  And...thank you for letting me know that a long duration can keep a jam from showing up on the calendar.  I will keep that in mind.  Again, thank you.
