Rules and eligibility

Clear standards for global AI-enabled creative submissions.

These rules keep the awards fair, practical, and useful for jurors. They are written for entrants before payment, so you can check whether the work, rights, media, and AI disclosure are ready before starting a submission.

Eligibility

Entrants must be at least 18, or have permission from a parent, guardian, school, university, or studio representative who can agree to the terms. Entrants may submit from any country unless local law, sanctions, payment restrictions, or platform limitations prevent participation.

AI requirement

Every entry must be at least partially generated, improved, manipulated, or assisted with AI. Entrants must disclose the nature of AI involvement and the tools or models used.

The awards do not require one approved workflow. A work can be prompt-led, edited by hand, model-assisted, composited, generated in parts, or shaped through a longer human-led process. What matters is that the role of AI is explained clearly.

Rights

Entrants must own the work or have sufficient rights to submit it. Third-party copyrighted, private, or sensitive material must not be used without permission.

If a work includes client material, performers, voices, datasets, reference images, samples, trademarks, or archival material, the entrant is responsible for having the right to use and submit it.

Media handling

The awards store only compact supporting media. Video and large audio should be submitted as external private or unlisted links with thumbnails and metadata.

Uploaded files should help jurors review the work, not act as a full production archive. Keep links active through judging and results announcement.
