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:

Learn More

Original Workflow

Authenticity is Key: Only original creations qualify. Avoid minor tweaks to others' work. Our system detects plagiarism; any such attempts lead to disqualification.

Utility

Solve Real Problems: Your workflow must address real needs and provide clear value. Judges will look for practicality and effectiveness.

Ease of Use

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

Clarity

Streamline Your Design: Use necessary nodes only. Efficiency and clarity are paramount. 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.
