The rules for this year's contest have been reworked. Firstly, content creators are no longer required to schedule their coverage of the event with event staff, as a Media Panel featuring active SHC 2026 coverage has been added to the website. To be eligible for coverage, simply promote your stream with #SHC2026Live in the title to be featured in the Stream Gallery. (Twitch users must set the stream category to a Sonic game for the system to work.)

New: Sonic Hacking Contest 2026 is now live! From now until Nov 1, participants can play and vote on the 58 contest entries, featuring romhacks, mods, and game translations of 2D and 3D games. (🧵) #SHC2026 #SonicNews
