The clock is ticking down! Judges have until October 19 to submit their scores for #IFComp. The good news is that *anyone* can judge, as long as they rate at least 5 games. And there's still time to contribute to our Colossal Fund! ifcomp.org/

IFComp XXXII is live and going strong! Do you love this year's logo as much as we do? A folio, a phone, both portals to other realms! That's artist Sherry Zhu, whose work you can find on IG. instagram.com/sherryzhu_draw…
IFComp 2026 logo: an open book viewed at an angle, its two pages forming a diorama. The left page is a neon-lit sci-fi cityscape with a spaceship, glowing circular portal, and pink grid floor under a starry sky; the right page is a mossy fantasy forest with a crumbling stone archway and trailing ivy. A beam of white light splits the two halves, with the word 'IFCOMP' running vertically down it. The book rests on a curved stone pool of water, with '2026' carved into the wall below.

It's the weekend! It's also the FINAL WEEKEND before IFComp 2025 wraps! Remember to get those final votes in. Also, if you are in a position to do so and have not yet contributed to this year's Colossal Fund, we're just a bit short of our stretch goal. Thank you! Have fun!

Update: the moon-th has waned and now is less than two weeks long, somehow. (We suspect witchcraft was involved. Beware of chronurgists!) At any rate, you can still sneak in some more ratings by October 15! Or add Halloween candy to the prize pool. ifcomp.org/ballot
IFComp@ifcomp15 Sep 2025
With exactly one moon-th left before votes end for this year's IFComp, might as well get started! And having reflected on all the entries you've played so far (and gazed upon your reflection in the mirror too), remember that you can (optionally) provide helpful feedback as wel.

If you've got a little time, we've got a *lot* of stories and games. If you play (and rate) just five of them before Oct 15, then you can be a judge. We'd love more judges! Check it out at ifcomp.org
