I've decided to step down from being manager of the Insert Name Jam due to numerous reasons. Current management has not been completely decided yet but more info will come out on a further date. I will finish off my managerial duties for the Insert Name Jam 1. Have a lovely day.

After a long discussion between the Judges of the jam, we have chosen the three winners. I hope everyone enjoyed this jam and we'll see you later!
