Guidance

Guidance for artists preparing AI-mediated work for public context.

Guidance helps artists prepare work for AI-ARTS without flattening creative practice into a compliance checklist. Process notes, rights care and review status should support interpretation, not suspicion.

Preparing work for review and recognition

Artists should submit work they have meaningfully directed and can describe, with rights and consent handled responsibly. Originality and artistic judgement matter more than tool novelty.

Use a clear title, featured image and description
Explain process or tool use where it helps interpretation
Avoid copying protected characters, brands or identifiable people without rights
Do not imitate living artists or cultural sources in ways that mislead audiences
Treat sensitive themes with care and context

Review and publication

Review is separate from publication. A submitted or accepted work can remain private until an organisation explicitly publishes it.

Draft works remain editable and private
Submitted works are locked while reviewed
Changes requested returns work to the artist for revision
Accepted entries are not public until published or released

Guidance will continue to evolve

This page gives practical guidance for the current platform. Formal competition rules, moderation policies and organisation-specific requirements can be added around individual open calls.
