Eligibility & AI disclosure
We welcome work that is AI-generated or AI-assisted, from any corner of the world. There is no gatekeeping on tools, only on craft and originality.
We ask every submitter to disclose how AI was used. It’s part of an honest conversation about a new medium, and it informs judging. Read our Copyright & AI Disclosure for the full stance on rights and expectations.
