Submission Instructions:
Make sure your film follows the category specific rules at www.projectodyssey.ai
Create a Civitai account:
If you don't already have one, make an account on Civitai.com. If possible, use the email you used to sign up on the Type Form with since that will make you eligible for prizes such as the Beginner Award for those making their first AI film.
Upload your film to the Project Odyssey Contest Collection:
After making sure you follow the category specific rules, click the + button on the top right corner then, upload your film, title it, and choose the Project Odyssey category it falls under. Make sure to add your tool tags, especially if you used a tool from one of the Premier Sponsors, since that will make you eligible for additional prizes. If you worked in a team, you can add collaborators and you will all be credited for the post. Don't worry, you can always edit this later.
Wait for approval:
After you click submit your film will enter into our review queue. This is to make sure that people don't spam the competition with videos that don't follow the competition rules. In 24-48 hours, your video should be reviewed and appear within the Project Odyssey Collection. You'll receive a notification on your Civitai account as well.
Vote and Share:
Starting on July 15th at 11:59pm PT until July 21st at 11:59pm PT, share your film with your friends and have them react to your video. The Top most reacted film in each category will receive the Community Choice Award and the Top 50 Films (and a selection of wild cards) will move on to be judged by our expert panel. Winners will be announced on July 29th around 9:00 PM PST.
