Categories
Choose the category that best reflects the audience and medium.
Make sure the category matches the work people will actually judge. Every entry needs some AI involvement and clear disclosure, but the strongest fit is usually decided by the final experience: what jurors see, hear, read, or interact with.
01AI Image & Illustration
Still image, generative illustration, photography manipulation, poster art, and visual experiments where AI materially shapes the final work.
- Accepted format
- Upload JPG, PNG, WebP, or a short process PDF.
- Best fit
- Single images or tight image series where the final visual carries the idea.
- Not a fit
- Raw prompt outputs, moodboards, or production tests without a finished point of view.
- Judging emphasis
- Jurors look at image-making, composition, authorship, and how much care went into selection and finishing.
02Motion & Film
Short film, title sequence, music video, animation, commercial, or moving-image work using AI generation, enhancement, editing, or compositing.
- Accepted format
- Provide a private or unlisted video URL. You can upload a thumbnail or short PDF notes.
- Best fit
- Finished moving-image pieces with clear direction, pacing, sound, and a watchable link.
- Not a fit
- Loose clips, model tests, trailer fragments, or broken links that leave jurors guessing.
- Judging emphasis
- Jurors pay attention to story, rhythm, craft, AI integration, and whether the piece holds together beyond the novelty of the tool.
03Design & Brand Systems
Identity systems, campaign visuals, type, packaging, brand worlds, and communications design created or extended with AI.
- Accepted format
- Upload images or a PDF showing the system in use.
- Best fit
- Brand or campaign work with enough application shots to show the system can live in the real world.
- Not a fit
- One-off logo marks, style tiles, or speculative visuals with no design logic behind them.
- Judging emphasis
- Jurors look for taste, consistency, clarity of use, and the entrant's hand in directing the system.
04Music & Audio
Music, sound design, voice, audio narrative, and sonic identity shaped with AI tools.
- Accepted format
- Provide an external audio URL. A PDF with lyrics, credits, or process notes is optional.
- Best fit
- Finished tracks, sonic identities, voice-led pieces, or sound design with a clear listening experience.
- Not a fit
- Unedited stems, demo loops, or AI voice work submitted without permission from the relevant rights holders.
- Judging emphasis
- Jurors listen for composition, production choices, emotional effect, and honest disclosure around voices, samples, and training material.
05Writing & Narrative
Poetry, fiction, scripts, narrative design, essays, and conceptual writing with transparent AI collaboration.
- Accepted format
- Upload a PDF. Keep excerpts readable and avoid full background dumps.
- Best fit
- Writing where AI is part of the method, but the voice, structure, and editorial choices feel intentional.
- Not a fit
- Generic chatbot prose, prompt transcripts, or unfinished drafts with no editing or authorial stance.
- Judging emphasis
- Jurors read for voice, structure, originality, control of language, and the honesty of the collaboration.
06Interactive & Experience
Games, installations, websites, apps, AR/VR, interactive prototypes, or experiential work where AI is part of the creative output or process.
- Accepted format
- Provide a live project URL, build link, walkthrough, or private demo video. You can add images or a PDF.
- Best fit
- Work jurors can try, watch, or understand quickly, with enough context to see the interaction.
- Not a fit
- Ideas without a demo, undocumented prototypes, or projects that require special hardware with no walkthrough.
- Judging emphasis
- Jurors consider interaction, concept, usability, technical fit, and whether AI changes the experience in a meaningful way.
07Fashion, Product & Spatial
AI-assisted fashion concepts, product design, interior, architecture, exhibition, and spatial storytelling.
- Accepted format
- Upload images or a PDF with renders, sketches, lookbook pages, plans, or presentation boards.
- Best fit
- Concepts with clear form, material thinking, use case, or atmosphere, even if they are not physically produced.
- Not a fit
- Pretty renders with no scale, function, construction thinking, or creative reason to exist.
- Judging emphasis
- Jurors look at concept strength, plausibility, visual craft, and how the AI process helped shape the proposal.
08Responsible AI Creativity
Work that foregrounds consent, provenance, accessibility, sustainability, transparency, or public value in AI-enabled creativity.
- Accepted format
- Upload an image or PDF, or provide a URL if the work lives online.
- Best fit
- Creative work where the ethical choice is visible in the method, the output, or the audience experience.
- Not a fit
- Policy statements, research summaries, or campaigns that mention responsibility but do not show it in the work.
- Judging emphasis
- Jurors look for substance over claims: consent, sourcing, accessibility, transparency, and practical public value.
