No, for many of the AI Company sponsors the depiction of children and minors is not allowed. This is due to commitments to the protection of child safety and welfare. If we do approve these entries, it is a slippery slope that is better to avoid for both us as the contest holder and you as the creator. Entries featuring children will not be either approved or eligible for prizes.

Films can have adult themes such as death, violence, light blood/gore, and sexuality, however gratuitous imagery will not be eligible. Aim for a maximum of PG-13 to R rating. As a rule of thumb, if it wouldn't be allowed on YouTube or Instagram, it won't be eligible for the competition.

No, your Behind-The-Scenes submission must be about your 3D Animation, Music Video, Narrative, or Open Format submission. You cannot qualify for a Behind-The-Scenes award without submitting to at least one of these other categories.

No, however due to the license, we highly recommend SDXL or SD1.5 since the current license may cause issues with your film in the future if you are trying to use it commercially. Check out our full thoughts at https://civitai.com/articles/5840/update-on-sd3-on-civitai

No, for the Music Video and Open Format categories you can use any amount of AI visuals, especially if you are combining with live action shots, as long as AI is used in a significant way (including editing). For the 3D Animation category, yes AI has to be used to stylize every frame.

No, for all categories, you must use a song you've made, a song someone has given you permission to use (also includes stock music or public domain), or a song completely made with AI (i.e. Suno, Udio, Stable Audio, ElevenLabs). The song you've made or the song you've been granted permission can use AI, but doesn't have to.

No, you can use any AI tool or non-AI tool you want, however using the tools from the Premier Sponsors qualifies you for additional cash prizes of $500 and subscriptions.

Yes, you will have to have a Civitai profile, since the submission process and community voting will be happening on the website. It's totally fine if it's your alt or your main. Submission details at https://www.projectodyssey.ai/how-to-submit

Yes, you can submit to multiple categories and there is no limit on the number of submissions you can make, BUT we highly recommend you prioritize quality or quantity.

No, all submissions must have been created within the competition window. Part of the challenge is to see what is possible to create within a single month, so please keep it fair. Submitting a previously completed project is grounds for disqualification.

A combination of the judges opinion and the initial sign up form where you listed your experience level.

Based on the number of unique reactions your submission gets on Civitai.com
