Submission Information
The two major guidelines for Prize Submissions are as follows. Prizes should be appropriate in terms of content for the stream, as a guideline try to keep things PG-13 at their worst. Prizes should also be at least somewhat related to a game in the marathon, or to gaming in general.
The deadline for prize submissions will be February 25 at 11:59PM Pacific. If you cannot make this deadline, please contact the Prize Coordinator immediately and we will attempt to accommodate you on a case by case basis.
Submitted prizes will not be publicly visible until they are accepted. Each Donor will receive an email notifying them about the status of their submitted prizes after they have all been reviewed.
If you are planning to submit multiple similar or smaller prizes, such as perlers, patches, or figures that are not packaged together, and feel strongly about keeping them together as a set, please make this information known in the "Extra Information" field of the form. Occasionally, we may split groups of similar smaller items into individual prizes instead of keeping them together as a single prize.
Guide to Submitting
To submit a prize to an event, the first thing you will need to do after clicking the submission form (when available) is create or log into a prize submission account. A prize submission account is separate from your Games Done Quick account. If you have not registered a prize submission account, you will need to do so.
Most of the fields should be self explanatory, but it is worth mentioning that the Suggested Start and Suggested End game fields may appear blank, if the game schedule has not yet been released.
