🌸 AIU 4 Facets Challenge — Rules

🌸 Welcome to a magical garden of AI creativity.
This is an invitation to explore the four sides of your creative self. A place where Midjourney and Instagram meet — not just as platforms, but as worlds we weave together through images and imagination. To keep things kind and fair, we've shaped a format that’s simple, open, and transparent — so everyone can feel seen.

🌿 Challenge Dates

April 7 — May 4

🎭 Four Themes

• 🍥 Cute / Whimsical
• 🚀 Sci-Fi / Cyberpunk
• 🌸 Anime
• 🧚 Fantasy / Folklore

🧭 Evaluation Criteria

• ✨ Interpretation – How well your work connects to the theme
• 🫠 Emotion – The feelings your piece evokes
• 🎨 Style – Your unique visual voice
• 🧠 Inventiveness – Creativity that goes beyond trends

🖼️ Submission Guidelines

• AI Artwork Welcome: Any AI artwork is welcome! However, only Midjourney artworks are eligible for fast hours prizes. For other AI works, winners will have the chance to collaborate with our volunteers — and we hope more people will join as volunteers in the future.
• PollUnit Submission: One image per theme, per participant. You're free to choose any aspect ratio, just be kind to your fellow creators and avoid extreme or distorted formats that may affect visibility.
• PollUnit Format: While PollUnit only accepts a single image per entry, you’re encouraged to post carousels or videos on Instagram to better express your creativity. Just make sure to tag @promptbattles_challenges as a collaborator — this is part of your official submission.
• Caption Details: Please mention the AI you used in your caption. This matters because we have two PollUnit categories: one for Midjourney users and one for all other tools. If your work is a mix, it still qualifies as Midjourney — as long as you have an active Midjourney account.
  This challenge is really about celebrating your ideas and visual language — not just the tools you use.
• Hashtag: Use #aiu4facets when posting.
• Submission Timing: All entries follow GMT time — not by choice, but due to technical limitations. If the trial goes well, future challenges may support all time zones. Thank you for your patience!
