FAQs are going to be updated as we get more questions.
Q: What are the Haxxy Awards?
A: It's a contest to see who can make the best stuff for fun.
Q: So how do I enter?
A: Create a topic with your entry in the correct section. That's it.
Q: Where do I submit videos?
A: Other category. We'll make separate subcategory for those, or even more, if we get eg. fragvids and music videos.
Q: Where do I submit update posters?
A: In "Art and Other".
Q: Can I submit stuff I made some time ago?
A: Yes, but read rules carefully.
Q: What are the prizes?
A: It's secret for now, but yes, they are in-game "items". All I can say is that you won't be disappointed.
Q: I won't win anyway, so why would I enter?
A: How do you know? Everyone has chances, there are no da Vincis here. You can always try the screenshot category, if you don't feel like doing anything.
Q: I don't know how to...
A: Your question has probably been answered multiple times before, there might even be some guides or tutorials. In category-specific rules there are links to related ones. Or try search function.
Q: Can I use stuff from Gang Garrison, like sprites or music?
A: As long as main idea is yours, yes. Making video using them is fine, but throwing them together and saying it's your pixel art - not so much.
Q: What's with the subcategories? Will I have to state which one I want to enter in?
A: It's not necessary if you only submit one entry for a category, but we encourage you to come up with a subcategory your entry could qualify for anyway. If you want to submit more than one, each entry has to have a separate subcategory. More on this topic can be found in the general rules.
