Contest System

What is the PromptCom Contest System?

The PromptCom Contest System is a flexible platform that anyone can use to host events simply by setting a theme, with or without prize money. It provides a venue for showcasing talent in AI art and creative works, giving participants the opportunity to have their works widely recognized.

Hosting a Contest

Anyone with a PromptCom account can host a contest, with or without prize money.

Settings Available When Hosting a Contest

• Event Name - Set the name of the contest.
• Event Details - Describe the contest theme and provide details.
• Thumbnail - Set a background image or thumbnail for the contest page.
• Work Type - Choose from "Gallery," "Prompt," or "Comic."
• Age Restriction - Set the age restriction for eligible submissions (All Ages, R15, R18, R18G).
• Duration - Set freely from a minimum of 1 day to a maximum of 2 months.
• Minimum Participants - Set the minimum number of participants required for the contest to be valid.
• Prize Coins - If setting prize money, you must purchase coins or points in advance. Prize amounts can be set between 100 and 100,000 (in increments of 10).

Entering a Contest

Who Can Enter

Anyone with a PromptCom account can enter a contest. Organizers are no exception.

Eligible Works

• Works created with AI (including retouched works)
• Original works that align with the organizer's contest theme
• Works that do not infringe on copyrights or other rights
• Works that are not commercially licensed may also be submitted. * However, please note that monetization through the membership or one-time sales features is not permitted.
• Any other works that do not violate the PromptCom Terms of Service

How to Enter

As described on each contest page, simply add the contest-specific tag when posting your work. You can set multiple tags and enter the same work in multiple contests simultaneously.

How Rankings Are Determined

Rankings are determined based on the number of "likes" collected during the contest period. Tallying is performed by the system on the day after the contest ends, and the top 3 positions are finalized.

About Prizes

If prize money has been set by the organizer, the prize is deposited to the 1st place creator's account balance at the time of tallying. However, if the minimum number of participants is not reached, the contest is voided and the prize money is returned to the organizer.

Prize Value Calculation

The actual amount received as prize money depends on the currency used:

• Coins — Calculated at 1 coin = ¥1
  • Example: 10,000 coin prize → Received amount: ¥10,000
• Points — A 20% platform fee is deducted
  • Example: 10,000 point prize → Received amount: ¥8,000 (¥2,000 fee)

Copyright of Submitted Works

For works submitted to contests hosted on this service, the service does not claim copyright transfer, just as with regular work submissions. Organizers also cannot claim copyright over submitted works.

Discouraged Behavior

Soliciting votes specifically for your own submitted work is discouraged. Promoting the contest as a whole or encouraging general voting without specifying particular works is acceptable, but overtly self-promotional behavior may be addressed by the administration.
