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…
ALT 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.
