Ok so i have realized i suck at making write ups, so i guess we can all just make it. here is my current draft, what do you all think? i think the time frame is the best this way, not to stressful and long enough to make some really cool things.

 Game jam will be hosted on itch.io

Yearly time frames:
2 months (4 weeks coding , 3 week judging, 1 week break)
1 month (2 weeks coding , 1 week judging, 1 week break)
2 months (4 weeks coding , 3 week judging, 1 week break)
1 month (2 weeks coding , 1 week judging, 1 week break) 
2 months (4 weeks coding , 3 week judging, 1 week break)
1 month (2 weeks coding , 1 week judging, 1 week break)
2 months (4 weeks coding , 3 week judging, 1 week break)
1 month (2 weeks coding , 1 week judging, 1 week break)  

Ranking system:
- itch.io voting system for the public favorite
- Judge will score on rule criteria

Platform:
- Any platform can be used, Bonus points if engine is custom programmed. but any game engine submissions allowed.
- anyone can participate and there is no max group count.

Must have rules:
- Must contain At least a significant amount of art sourced or available at the end of the game jam from OGA
- Credit where credit is due, I.E. art that is used. 

 Cool to do rules:
- Bonus points for Weekly update of progress, does not need to be long just some pictures and some short explanation of your current progress. This helps us engage in the project with you and give feedback if desired.
- Bonus points for using art submitted in the last 4-6 weeks art challenges. 
- Bonus points for telling the world that you're going to use a specific art piece in the comments of that piece of art. this lets other coders know you're going to use it and help avoid 2 people using the same art. 

Source:
- Source code not required but appreciated but Bonus points for posting source code.
- A compiled working game needs to be submitted (Nothing worse than compiling 30 games to see if they work)
- preferably a video showcasing the game
- Bonus points for posting custom art on OGA

Rights:
- the game you make you still own all the rights to it, you may continue development if you feel like it

Prizes:
- Fun!
- Glory and Honor!
- An extra showpiece for your portfolio
- Last but not least one or both of the open game art medals (Public choice, judge choice)
