Introducing Contests
Flex your creativity, prompt-writing skills, and custom models to win special rewards and XP in new themed contests!
Contests are community competitions in which everyone can submit creations that meet the contest criteria and vote on others’ creations to ultimately crown the winners. Contests will run regularly and feature a unique theme or restriction.
The inaugural contest will start on Thursday, March 26 @ 11 PM UTC, and submissions will be open until Monday, March 30 @ 11 PM UTC. Keep reading to learn about how contests work as well as potential rewards!
How do Contests Work?
All users are able to participate in contests. Contests consist of three main phases: submission, voting, and results.
Contests start with the submission phase, in which users are able to submit eligible creations to the contest. Submissions must adhere to the contest guidelines (see full details at the bottom of the blog post) and fit the contest theme. Free users can submit one creation per contest. Pro and Starter users can submit two creations per contest. Take the time to experiment with different prompts, models, styles, and features – change or delete submitted creations anytime until the submission phase ends.
Once submissions are locked, voting begins. During this time, users will receive a certain amount of daily votes and participate in batch-style voting on other users’ submissions. Voting takes place over multiple days, and the vote quota refreshes daily.
The voting period is followed by a waiting period during which the team will review the winning submissions and assign the Editor’s Choice award to one noteworthy submission. Then, results are announced for everyone to see – users will be able to see the winning submissions, as well as the placement results for their submissions.
Past contest results will be available to view as well from the second contest onwards.
