SLAPJAMSponsor Slapjam
Sponsoring Slapjam puts your tool in front of hundreds of developers during the weekend they are actively choosing what to build with.
The next Slapjam runs October 29 – 31, 2026: 48 hours from October 29 at 15:00 UTC to October 31 at 15:00 UTC, with a $1,000 cash prize pool. The first one was the biggest AI game jam on itch.io this season: 312 developers joined and 145 games shipped in 48 hours.
The headline slot. We sell exactly one for the jam, so nothing else competes with it.
A written feature plus prominent placement everywhere sponsors appear.
Your logo on the site and the jam page, a social mention, and your product in the prize pool.
Your name and link alongside the jam, with tracked clicks.

More than a logo
On our first jam’s launch day, about 6% of one sponsor’s new signups came through Slapjam. Your tool reaches developers while they are deciding what to build with, not just browsing an ad.
Gold and Platinum include a hands-on article that stays online after the jam. Our sponsor content has already been cited in Google’s AI answers and ChatGPT: another way for developers to discover your tool beyond the weekend.
After the jam, we report your sponsor-link clicks and, where your tier includes an article, its views. We also break out identifiable AI referrals. Share your signup attribution with us and we can include the conversions you measured.
Tracked links
Every link we publish to a sponsor carries UTM parameters, so the traffic we send you shows up as a named source in your own analytics rather than as anonymous referral noise. Each placement is tagged separately, so you can tell the homepage apart from the tool guide.

What we ask of sponsors
- Four posts about Slapjam on your own social media accounts, spread across the run-up to the jam and the jam weekend. We provide ready-made images and copy on the branding page.
- A logo (SVG or high-resolution PNG) and the link you want it to point to.
- For tiers that include a blog post, a short brief on your tool and someone we can ask questions. We write the posts and send them to you before they go live.
How to become a sponsor
Email sponsor@slapjam.ai with your company name, the tier you want, your website, the social accounts you will post from and your logo. We confirm by reply and send a secure Stripe payment link with an invoice receipt; your listing goes live as soon as the payment clears.
