  • If you want to put your info in the intro/outro credits that is okay
  • Please remove tool watermarks wherever possible since it distracts from the viewing experience. Entries that feature a tool watermark won't be disqualified, however it is highly discouraged. Solutions include upscaling + cropping, adding black cinematic bars, or adding gaussian blur mask.

• Update: No photorealistic depiction of children/minors. This goes against many of the terms of service of the sponsoring AI companies and can't be posted for liability reasons. Non-photorealistic depictions (i.e. anime) are okay, as long as they are in no way NFSW, since that is illegal and we have a zero tolerance policy.
