Go Faster!
Prize Submissions for SGDQ 2016 are Closed, thank you to everyone who submitted.
The deadline for prize submissions will be June 26th at 11:59PM PDT (a week before the start of the marathon). If you are creating a prize for the marathon and you are not sure if you can make this deadline, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate you on a case by case basis.
Submitted prizes are not publicly visible until they are accepted, and you can find a list of accepted prizes: Here
If you are planning to submit multiple similar or smaller prizes, such as perlers, patches, or figures, and feel strongly about keeping them together as a set, please make this information known. Generally, we will split groups of similar smaller items into individual prizes instead of keeping them together as a single prize.
While you prepare to make your submissions, feel free to show off your potential prize donations here. This thread can also be used for posting progress on prizes you're making yourself, or just for asking any questions you may have about prizes or how the submission process will work.
GUIDELINES
Check out the Schedule (Schedule) for the games you can submit prizes for.
Take a good picture of your prize and host it through a reliable image hosting site, such as imgur or photobucket. Please also take measurements and weigh your prize. The numbers don't have to be perfect, but pictures can be deceptive when it comes to size and weight, and it helps for us to have a good ballpark estimate on the dimensions of your prize.
At GDQ events we really love showcasing all of the unique items both made and acquired by the community. As a result, we generally do not accept digital prizes (i.e. Steam codes) for the main event. [UPDATE: Steam keys are acceptable if they are directly donated by the developer] However, if you happen to have a really cool digital prize, we may do a social media giveaway; we are also no longer able to accept Reproduction Cartridges as prizes for our events.
If you have any additional questions or concerns or would just like to talk about prizes, leave a post in the thread, or feel free to contact us directly at Prizes@gamesdonequick.com

Quote from SMK:
Submission now requires login/registration (the page should redirect you to a login page). If you go to the registration page linked from the login, you can use your email to register (it should be straightforward, if it doesn't work, let me know). Once you're logged in, it should work normally again.
The reason why we're doing this is to help make keeping track of shipping more streamlined after the event. If anything seems amiss, please post here or PM me. [SMK]
Edit: I'm aware it would make more sense to be able to use your gdq account to do this, that's the plan eventually :p
