Hello everyone, I'm a new game developer and I'm planning on creating a speedrunning tournament with money prizes for my steam game, Joy the Pug and I have no clue on how to get traction for this.

Is anybody interested in a challenge and some money prize with that? I have a discord server, but I don't know if it's okay to post it here.

Hey, welcome to the site!

As for the speedrunning tournament thing, there's actually been quite a few indie developers that have done similar things. You can try posting in the Tournaments section of the forums with a link to your steam page and discord server. I for one would be interested.
