Grand prizes are limited to one per character over the course of the festival.

General Prizes: all runner-up prizes (2nd and 3rd place), as well as any first place prizes for games that do not include a grand prize, will be as follows per game: choice of 1 Pre-written Signature Verb from a limited set list.
