This is a competition to create a LoRA or Lyco for anime/AO3 models that creates distinct stylistic appearances. I will leave it up to you which specific style to go for. I recommend blending image collections from several artists who have similar drawing styles.
This LoRA/Lyco should have all of the following qualities:
+Minimal interference with base model aside from artstyle. More forgiving on this point for styles that are more unique.
+Obvious degree of change when LoRA/Lyco is applied
+Compatible with other LoRAs
+Capable of both SFW and NSFW
Important rule: you MUST make your LoRA public and downloadable when you enter it. I am going to test it before I award it a prize. LoRAs that are not posted publicly will not be selected.
Prizes will be judged by me based on a combination of the above factors, and the overall appeal and uniqueness of the entry. I hope that many people will enter this, and if there are many entries, I plan to award smaller prizes (~500-1000 each, as tips) for honorable mentions. Multiple entries are allowed, and you may receive multiple awards.

Example of a LoRA that would NOT be a good entry, because it does not change the base style very much: https://civitai.com/models/191303/cute-and-colorful
