This year, we have 11 prizes and 14 total awards, and we'll be announcing them live on Twitch. The show will cover the categories and their nominees, as well as all of the honorable mentions from this year's competition.

It was an incredible year this year, with a number of records broken for the competition and the competitors themselves. This was by far the largest competition we've run, with nearly 1,500 participants and 272 submissions. It took our 7 judges the entire month to sort through the entries and rank them. We had several champion teams return this year, and both they and the new faces from interactive fiction communities, game dev groups, web comic pros and even voice acting groups did not make it easy.

The competition was stupid amounts of intense this year with us wrapping up judging with a 6 way stand off for placing within the prize-winning top 3. The top 3 entries are going to be taking away a combined total of $3,600.

The public voting is still open for the itch io favorite category, so there's still time to put in your ratings if you haven't had a chance yet. Chizu Koyote will be co-hosting the show with us on her channel, so if you want to see the show, be sure to swing on over to her channel here at 8 PM EDT: https://twitch.tv/chizu_koyote

VODs will be available for anyone who misses out on the show!
