Hi! The Official Rules (dated 2026-10-22) list Turkey among the Restricted Jurisdictions (“where we cannot distribute prizes to you because of legal or other considerations”), but the jam page says a Turkish translation of the Official Rules is coming soon.

Can residents of Turkey take part in the jam at all, with or without prize eligibility? Or is entry from Turkey not allowed?

Thanks!

Hello, I am also waiting for clarification from Epic Games.

I am an independent developer residing in Türkiye and have registered for the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam on [itch.io](http://itch.io). However, the official rules list Türkiye as a Restricted Jurisdiction.

Could Epic Games please clarify whether residents of Türkiye are completely ineligible to participate, or whether the restriction only affects prize eligibility?

I would appreciate an official response before the jam begins on November 12, 2026.

Thank you.
