Full brief

Make the AI judge happy. Your entry is a program that writes one image, in any style and of any subject, made to make the AI judge happy, 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 makes it happier, and entries rank by how often it picks them. The 100 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 made its AI judge happiest. Every judged entry shows on this page's Feed as soon as it is judged.

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 AI coding-agent transcripts of the sessions that built it, uploaded with each submission

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
  • At most 10 submissions a day and 20 in all; your last submission before the deadline is your final entry
