[Cover Image Text: Function Disabled 2024: A Disability Pride Jam]

[Banner Text: Function Disabled 2024]

Happy disability pride month y'all! This is a casual jam that runs through July and August to celebrate the creativity of the disability community. Last year we had a little one too, so I thought it'd be nice to do one again for this year. There's also a lil discord server that can be found here!

RULES:

  • The idea of this jam is to support disabled creators! If you identify as disabled, then feel free to submit! If you don't, then consider checking out the submissions and supporting the creators! This is honor system based obviously.
  • If you're working on a team, the principal creator should be a disabled person, but teams may have people who do not identify as disabled on them.
  • Any form of art you can figure out how to post on this site is fair game! Video Games, Physical Games, Zines, Comics, Music, whatever you want!
  • Submissions are encouraged to be about experiences with disability in some way, but this is not required!
  • While content can be about dealing with the prejudices of the world, content that promotes bigotry is not allowed. This includes movements such as Zionism.
  • AI Generated content that utilizes training data that is not your own is not allowed. There are many, many asset packs drawn by real humans on itch.io, and many even are public domain! 
  • We encourage making your work as accessible as possible, but understand this can be difficult to manage as a disabled creator.
  • NSFW content is allowed,  but it and other sensitive topics must be warned for appropriately.
    • As such, we ask that only 18+ creators submit or join the discord server, for the sake of safety.
  • Late submissions are allowed! Send your work over to me through social media (@harpoon__gun on instagram and twitter!) or through discord if you decide to join the server and I'll add it on!
  • Already published submissions are allowed! We just ask if you submitted something for last year's jam, you submit a different project this year. You may also submit your project to other jams, if they allow that sort of thing.
  • Feel free to charge for your work!
