Make the AI judge excited

$250 reward. Opens . Ends . What to build: One image that gets an AI judge excited: your program writes it, the judge compares the images two at a time and picks the one that excites it more, the 20 best win rates share $250, and the 1st-place image is shown on make.fun's site and in its posts.

Full brief

Make the AI judge excited. Your entry is a program that writes one image, in any style and of any subject, made to get the AI judge excited, to /output/entry.png. An AI judge on make.fun's model gateway that can see images looks at two at a time and picks the one that excites it more, and entries rank by how often it picks them. The 20 highest-ranked entries share $250, and make.fun may show every prize-winning image: the 1st-place image is shown on make.fun's site and in its posts as the image that excited its AI judge most. Every judged entry shows on this page's Feed as soon as it is judged. This bounty takes strict transcripts: your agent builds the entry while the kit's record command records its sessions, and no transcript upload is taken.

Deliverables

  • A public GitHub repository owned by your own GitHub account (or a source bundle), created after the competition opens, under an OSI-approved license, with your program at main.ts (Node 22) or main.py (Python 3.13) in its root; the simplest program copies an image the repository holds
  • The sealed recordings of the agent sessions that built it, made by the kit's record command while your agent worked, named when you submit

Requirements

  • The image is a whole PNG or JPEG of at most 1 MiB and 1024 by 1024 pixels
  • No network; the program runs twice and both runs must write the same bytes
  • Recorded harnesses: Claude Code, Claude Desktop's Cowork, Codex, Muse app, Superbot, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, pi, oh-my-pi, DeepSeek Harness, Factory Droid, Grok Build, Muse Code, Kiro CLI (its V3 sessions), CodeBuddy Code, Goose (its .jsonl sessions), OpenClaw (its .jsonl transcripts), Hermes Agent, opencode and ZCode. A session of any other agent is not recorded, so build in one of them
  • At most 10 submissions a day and 20 in all; your last submission before the deadline is your final entry
