Hello everyone!

I'm planning to organize a private game jam for the first time here on itch.io. Before diving into the actual event, I would greatly appreciate some advice from experienced organizers. I have a few initial questions:

  1. When it comes to creating and decorating jam pages and logos, what approach do you recommend? Is it preferable to go the DIY route or purchase professional designs?
  2. How important are prizes in a game jam? What types of prizes tend to generate the most interest, and is there a recommended budget limit?
  3. Are there any specific rules that you would strongly recommend enforcing to ensure a fair experience for participants?

Additionally, if there are any other tips or insights you'd like to share regarding organizing a game jam, I'm eagerly listening! Any suggestions would be invaluable to me for a beginner.
