Daily Challenge Rules Update

At NightCafe, we’re committed to promoting creativity and providing a level playing field for all challenge participants. That’s why we’re making some changes to the daily challenge rules, which we believe will help to achieve these goals.

First, we want to explain why we’re making these changes.

One of our main goals with challenges is to make them fair. What we’ve found is that quite often, the creations that do best in challenges use a start image that wasn’t created on NightCafe.

A few months ago, we introduced some automated checks to ensure that submitted images are significantly different to start images. Those changes helped for a while, but we’re still finding that a lot of highly-rated challenge entries used a start image that doesn’t look all that different to the submitted image.

There’s also the issue of false positives when moderating start images. It’s frustrating as a user to have your entry rejected by the automoderator or by one of our human moderators for being too close to the start image, when you know the start image was legitimate. Neither the automoderator  or our human moderators are perfect – both make mistakes. And it feels really bad to have something you spent a lot of time creating rejected by a moderator in error. The rules need to be less ambiguous and easier for us to enforce in moderation.

We want to make sure that everyone has an equal opportunity to participate and showcase their creativity, regardless of their level of experience on NightCafe, or the AI Art generating tools they use. 

With that in mind, we’re introducing new criteria for challenge submissions that will help to level the playing field and promote creativity, putting more focus on prompting rather than start images.

So what are the changes?

  • Entirely your own: You can’t submit a creation that was a duplicate or evolution of another user’s creation at any point in the chain of evolutions/duplications.
  • No start images: You can’t submit a creation made from an image that wasn’t originally created on NightCafe, regardless of whether the image belongs to you, is public domain, etc. The exception of course is evolutions – which use a previous creation as the start image. Evolutions are allowed as long as no external start image was used at any point in the evolve chain.
  • No Style Transfer creations: You can’t submit a creation made using the Style Transfer Algorithm or that is descended from a style transfer creation.
  • No deleted creations: You can’t submit a creation if the chain of evolutions/duplications contains a deleted creation. Once a creation is deleted, our moderators can’t confirm that it followed all the above rules.

We believe that these changes will help to promote creativity and originality, while also leveling the playing field for all of our challenge participants and making the rules less ambiguous and easier to enforce. We know that change can be challenging, so we want to give you all the information you need to succeed.

We hope that these changes will encourage everyone to create something unique and original for our challenges. We’re excited to see what you come up with!
