Contest guidelines

The OpenArt ComfyUI Workflow Contest is a celebration of innovation, utility, and originality. To ensure a fair and inspiring competition, we have set forth the following guidelines that all participants must adhere to:

Original Workflow

Originality is key: Avoid only minor tweaks to others' work. While it is acceptable to draw inspiration from others’ workflow and even base your workflow on others, the modifications introduced must be substantial to warrant the originality of your workflow.

Quality of generated images

Consistent high-quality images: Your workflow should be able to generate pretty consistent high-quality images. Please upload at least 5 best images your workflow generated to demonstrate.

Utilities

Solve real problems: Your workflow should strive to address real needs and provide clear value. Judges will look for practicality and effectiveness.

Innovation

Innovate Intuitively: We value groundbreaking yet user-friendly workflows. Balance innovation with simplicity.

Clarity

Clear to understand: Use necessary nodes only. Efficiency and clarity are paramount. Workflows should be composed of publicly available models and nodes. All custom nodes should preferably be available on Github. If you have a video tutorial, e.g. YouTube video link, in your description to demonstrate your workflow. That will be much preferred. 

Submission time

While not the most critical factor, submitting your entry earlier can increase your chances of winning. Early submissions provide judges with ample time to thoroughly review and appreciate your workflow.

Limited entries

We will consider your first 20 workflows you submitted for the contest. However, if you just want to upload normally without participating in the competition, you can just leave the checkbox in unchecked.

How to participate

Simply upload your workflow and check the checkbox “I’m participating in the workflow contest”. This checkbox will only be available after the contest starts.

Important points to follow

Make sure to have a good title and a detailed description.
