So, what are the requirements to enter? Let’s talk about what we don’t require, first: no requirement on a theme and no exclusivity on the game(that means you can still have your game sponsored). Double entry with the current Jay is Games contest is not only allowed but encouraged.

Basically we ask that you run MochiAds in your game, allow distribution, and use our latest MochiAds Leaderboards service to enter the contest. Get the full details from our contest page, and read the full text rules here. You can also check out an example of the Leaderboards and a tutorial from Emanuele Feronato.

Good luck!
