For anyone new to the concept of the 72hr Jam,
it is a yearly TF2Maps tradition where the community dedicates
three days of their time to producing cool content themed around
Team Fortress 2!
This includes maps, models, warpaints, animations, videos, paintings, drawings, mods,
fan-fiction, woodwork, stonework, legwork, homework, and everything else in-between
so long as it's related to Team Fortress 2!
For this year's 72hr Jam we are partnering with a worldwide charity with a history going back over 50 years: Doctors Without Borders/Medicins Sans Frontiers.
DWB is an independent medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, natural disasters, and exclusion from health care, without regard to race, religion, or political affiliation. On any given day, in over 72 countries, more than 45,200 individuals representing dozens of nationalities assist people caught in crises around the world.
They are doctors, nurses, logistics experts, administrators, epidemiologists, laboratory technicians, mental health professionals, and others whose work is guided by humanitarian principles and medical ethics. MSF medical teams conduct evaluations on the ground to determine a population's medical needs before opening programs, aiming to fill existing gaps (rather than replicating services that are already offered) or reach neglected communities.
As always, you are able to receive a medal simply by participating in the Jam! All you need to do
is create some TF2-related content within 72 hours, and submit it on TF2Maps.net with the 72hr
Jam 2025 label. This is different from how entries were submitted in past years, so read up on
that in the announcement thread!
As a bonus for donating to the campaign,
you'll receive an in-game medal if you donate at least $5 USD (tradable items count too) before
January 14th, 2026! One hundred percent of all donations go to Doctors Without Borders, including items donated through Scrap.tf.
Participants and donors should receive medals roughly 2–3 months following
the end of the event (March–April 2026).
