The deadline may be extended with prior public notice.
  3. How to Participate:

Participants must explain the creative process, including which tool was used (e.g., ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL·E, Suno, etc.) and what prompt or input was entered. Originality and critical use of the tool will be evaluated.
      • Meme: This category is for memes that combine images and short texts in an original, creative, or humorous way.
