▶ Community Voting — The Campfire 

  • The Campfire Award includes community voting, as player retention and engagement are key evaluation criteria. 
  • The 30 teams eligible for voting were selected based on the project team's internal evaluation, which assessed each submission against three criteria : Originality, Entertainment Value, and Overall Quality. 
  • Rankings on the voting page are updated once daily at 00:00 (UTC). On the first day of voting, before any votes have been counted, submissions will be displayed in alphabetical order.  

We encourage everyone to participate in selecting the winners!
