Submission terms

What you agree to when you enter.

Entrants keep ownership of their work. The awards need limited permission to review it, administer the programme, and publish selected results.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18, or you must have permission from a parent, guardian, school, university, studio, agency, or organisation that can agree to these terms for you.

You may enter from any eligible country unless local law, sanctions, payment restrictions, or platform limitations prevent participation.

Your rights and permissions

You confirm that you own the submitted work or have the permissions needed to enter it. This includes source material, datasets, references, samples, voices, likenesses, client work, trademarks, and any third-party material included in the final piece.

By submitting, you give AI Creativity Awards a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to administer the entry, show it to awards staff and jurors, check eligibility, promote shortlisted or winning work, publish results, and keep a reasonable archive of the awards.

What you submit

Your entry must include truthful contact details, a suitable category, a clear description of the work, media that jurors can access, and an honest AI disclosure.

Video, audio, interactive, and large project files should be shared through stable external links. Uploaded files should be compact review assets, not a production archive.

Review and disqualification

Entries may be marked incomplete or disqualified if payment is missing, media cannot be accessed, rights are unclear, the AI disclosure is misleading, or the work contains unlawful, abusive, hateful, unsafe, or non-consensual material.

After payment, material changes should be handled through the awards team so the review record stays clear.
