Eligible submissions first undergo a rules and eligibility review, followed by evaluation from an international jury. Entries are judged on criteria including story, character, visual craft, originality, AI-native distinction, IP potential, and overall creative execution. Community engagement may also be considered for Pilot Track entries, but it does not determine rankings on its own.
