I found this thread shared on Mastodon, and it got me thinking that I'm close enough to release and it just might be a great opportunity to submit FLIES to IGF 2024. I filled out the form for the fee waiver (I finally found a job recently but I haven't started yet so I'm still very tight on funds). Anyway, I doubt FFF will go very far in the contest, because it's so weird and janky and not-a-real-game, and I try to steer towards humility about my work. But my main motivator for submitting is this snippet from the advice thread:

---

My game isn't really for money / I don't care about getting a publisher or etc / My thing is weird and niche, will anyone in IGF care?

YES

I'm going to quote my past self here: The pool of judges who's into advocating for weird shit is smaller but we exist and we put in the time. We see you and we love what you do. Please keep doing it.

I truly deeply love the stuff we get from tiny devs just making cool weird shit. I try my best to feature at minimum several in my IGF games threads every year. Trust me when I say yall are my favourite part of the competition every year and consistently my source of biggest surprises and joy. Life Tastes Like Cardboard, Sylvie Lime, Memory Card - these are the games I excitedly foist on my friends every single time after the compo is over. Please keep submitting them, yall give me life

---

I thought this advice might be useful to other folks here, and there's just under a month of time in which to submit.
