The Arca Gidan Prize is back!
And this one is going to be something special.
The meta-theme is Time.
Three subthemes to pick from:
Déjà Vu — the glitch, the loop, moments that echo
The Briefness of Bloom — that perfect moment just before it fades
Traveling Through Time — backward, forward, sideways
Your piece can be anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes. The whole point is to push past what AI video usually looks like, no Hollywood trailers, no music videos. Something genuinely new and weird and impossible before now.
And thanks to @peteromallet and his restless efforts for our Banodoco community this year the reward is juicier than ever! 💜
$50K+ in prize money, with top entries getting flown to Paris for ADOS to show their work on opening night.
If you've been waiting for a reason to make something, this is it.

Hope you enjoy the trailer for maybe a whisper of inspiration.
Let's make something beautiful.
Introducing The Arca Gidan Prize, an art competition focused on open models.
Supported by @comfyui & @banodoco , our goal is to provide a reason for people to push open art models to limits.
Winners fly to Hollywood to show their piece to industry leaders/open source nerds!
