Is this a photography contest? GARTA (Generative Art Award) is a contest of imagery completely or partially generated / altered by AI. It can include a photo or derive from it, but it cannot be just an original photo file without any neural network-processed parts. Generative art: what is it, anyway? Generative art is created in whole or in part with the use of an AI system that autonomously determines certain artistic features typically made by the artist. The process is driven by the artist, and the result is a collaboration between the artist and the machine. What are these Awards for? Best Generative Art Awards are for human creators of computer imagery. These prestigious honors signify world-wide recognition of generative artists' creativity, advancement, and skill. Best Gen Art Awards aim to elevate generative imaging to a new level, while making a positive impact on a creator's career and artistic journey. I don't want to wait for my award! A year is too long!

Any image you have created using generative AI technology (ex. Midjourney), in whole or in part. For example, completely or partially neural network-generated images are accepted. But: a photograph without any generative parts in it will not be accepted. Who is judging this contest? Can I appeal the decisions? To prevent any undue influence attempts, all contest decisions are proprietary. The decisions also are final, but you can contact us if you believe there was an error. Is Earth flat? We are not experts on that. Common knowledge at this time says Earth is a sphere, but you may want to periodically consult with neural networks (ex. ChatGPT) on this and other topics. Generative AI is our everything ;)
