Hi all !

@TendieMaster69@sh.itjust.works hasn’t much time to organize community challenges and wrote : “I am going to be leaving the community challenges here with the end of week 4. Anyone is free to make any challenges of their own!”

I propose new rules for these community challenges to be managed by the community.

  • Someone gives a theme.
  • Anybody can participate. Anybody can put pictures. There is no limit but the fair play and the community rules (no NSFW, etc.).
  • After at least one week and not longer than two, the theme giver chooses one winner with the criterias he wants. It can be based on the explaination of the process, based on the originality, based on the feeling, based on the votes…
  • The winner is the new theme giver.

If it’s OK with you, I will start with this theme :

“A new sport”.

      OK. Let’s close this challenge !
      I declare you the winner.
      My criteria: with the picture only, we can understand that it’s a “new sport”. The other pictures don’t really convey this. (I have not judged the quality of the picture for this challenge :-p)

      @Ziggurat@sh.itjust.works : 1 pt.
      @thelsim@sh.itjust.works : 0 pt.
      @pokexpert30@lemmy.pussthecat.org : 0 pt.
      @Sphks@lemmy.dbzer0.com : 0 pt.

      What you won : giving a new challenge.

    Always nice to join a competition, regardless of who wins for what reason :)

    I bring you the latest craze in unrealistic sports: jet pack racing!

    Prompt: low angle, a jetpack race, in the sky --ar 4:3

      Well. That’s a great proposal ! Thanks for the prompt.
      If the prompt is this short, you are lucky to get such interesting results. It’s midjourney?

        Yes, it’s Midjourney. It’s a bit more set in its ways but the results often turn out great with very short prompts. It’s usually better to leave the composition open to the AI’s interpretation than to force it into doing what you want.
        You could say I’m playing on easy mode here :)

    These are the original rules.

    Contest will begin immediately when this post is made and will end the following Friday at 1pm EDT

    One comment per user

    3 images maximum

    Must follow this community’s and sh.itjust.works rules.

    No links to other websites, must be embedded and viewable here

    The top 3 winners are the top 3 root comments with the most upvotes

    The top 3 winners (9 images total potentially) will be featured as a pinned post as the contest winning images with user names

    I don’t think basing the winner on upvotes is a great system because earlier submissions have an advantage. Honestly I’m not even sure that it’s necessary to declare a winner for now, typically we have few enough submissions that people are probably going to view them all.

    I guess the only rule I would add is that we should only have one community challenge active at a time. Just have fun and rest assured that any high quality submissions will be acknowledged and highlighted, if not necessarily declared the winner.

    Thank you @Sphks@lemmy.dbzer0.com for taking the initiative on this, it’s a good idea. I pinned it

          Sure, and you’re not wrong about your criticism regarding the proposed rules. I’m just going to hold off on deciding whether there will even be a “winner” for now; I think the value of the contest is in seeing how people approach the prompt differently and produce different results, not necessarily which image is the “best”.
