AI policy

Tell us how AI shaped the work.

AI can be a tool, collaborator, generator, editor, or source of friction. The important part is explaining the role it played.

What to disclose

Each entry must explain the level of AI involvement, the main tools or models used, which parts were generated or transformed, which parts were human-made or human-directed, and how the final work was selected or edited.

If prompts, custom models, training material, reference images, voice cloning, synthetic performers, or third-party datasets are central to the work, describe them clearly enough for jurors to understand the method.

Source material and consent

You must say whether source material is owned by you, licensed, used with permission, public domain, open licence, or mixed. If third-party copyrighted, private, sensitive, or personal material is involved, explain what it is and why you have the right to use it.

Do not submit work that uses a real person's likeness, voice, private data, or sensitive identity in a deceptive or non-consensual way.

How jurors use disclosure

Disclosure helps jurors understand authorship, process, originality, and responsibility. It is not there to reward one workflow over another.

A mostly generated work can be strong if the idea, direction, selection, and finishing are thoughtful. A lightly assisted work can also be strong if AI genuinely helped shape the result.

Misleading disclosure

Entries may be rejected or disqualified if the AI role is hidden, exaggerated, or described in a way that materially misleads the awards team or jurors.
