A couple years ago, I was invited by the fine folks at ITU-Copenhagen to give a talk for the Nordic Game Jam. I’d never been to a game jam before and obviously, the chance to get to Denmark was incentive enough, but what I saw was amazing.

Aside from the first play session of *[Johann Sebastian Joust](http://gutefabrik.com/joust.html?ref=killscreen.com)* by Doug Wilson, I watched first hand as dozens of teams raced against the clock to build the best project possible. If you haven’t been to a game jam, you should. It’s a testament to the ingenuity of game design and spontaneous creatively.

So we’ve got some big news.

We are proud to announce [CREATE](http://killscreendaily.com/create/?ref=killscreen.com), a 10-day competition to make most amazing game possible. We’re inviting developers worldwide to compete for more than $45,000 in prize money across a variety of categories. It kicks off next Monday, Jan. 14.

To help us make the selections, we’ve pulled together an amazing cast of judges! Here they are — Felicia Day (*The Guild*), Adam Saltsman (*Canabalt*), Phil Fish (*FEZ*), Alexis Madrigal (*Atlantic Monthly*), Austin Wintory (Grammy-nominated composer), Ed Fries (Co-creator, Xbox), Joanne McNeil (former editor, *Rhizome*), and Zach Gage (*SpellTower*). Awesome right?

Read our full contest announcement and get the details on the [CREATE site](http://killscreendaily.com/create/?ref=killscreen.com). Once all submissions have been received, we will be hosting video trailers for audience voting, and posting finalists and winners, so check back often!
