About

Awards for creative work shaped with AI.

AI Creativity Awards is for people using AI as part of a real creative process: artists, designers, filmmakers, writers, musicians, students, studios, and independent makers.

Some entries may be mostly generated. Others may use AI for editing, prototyping, sound, image-making, story development, or production. We care about the finished work, but also about the choices behind it: the idea, the tools, the source material, the edits, the rejects, and the human judgement that shaped the final piece.

What we look for

Good AI work is rarely just a prompt. It usually comes from a person making decisions: what to ask for, what to keep, what to change, what to discard, and how to present the result.

Jurors review creative ambition, execution, originality, relevance to category, and responsible handling of source material. The awards are open to polished work, experiments with a strong point of view, and projects that help define what AI-assisted creativity can become.

Why disclosure matters

Every submission includes an AI disclosure. Entrants explain which tools were used, what was generated or transformed, what was human-made or human-directed, and whether any third-party material was involved.

This is not there to reward one workflow over another. It gives jurors enough context to judge the work fairly. It also gives selected entries a stronger public record, because the process behind the work is part of the story.

The 2026 edition

Submissions open on June 1, 2026. The deadline is November 1, 2026. Results are announced on December 1, 2026.

Winners and shortlisted entrants receive official titles, digital laurels, public results features, and certificates. The first edition is online, international, and built for clear review: simple categories, modest entry fees, direct uploads for images and PDFs, and external links for larger video, audio, and interactive work.
