Get ready to Jam this weekend! The annual 72-Hour Jam is back for 2020, and the whole community is invited to take part! Starting Friday, September 4th, at 6pm GMT (11 AM PDT), you have 72 hours to make whatever Team Fortress 2 creation your heart desires - whether it be a map, a cosmetic, a game, or even a physical craft - the skyâs the limit!

This year, the Jamâs charity drive is supporting Direct Relief and their COVID-19 relief efforts. Anyone who donates $5 or more to the drive is eligible to receive this yearâs in-game charity medal. Donate here!

For more information, check out the thread on TF2Maps or join the TF2Maps Discord. And be sure to follow @TF2Maps on Twitter for live coverage over the weekend!
