ANNIVERSARY CONTEST

NovelAI's 3rd Anniversary Celebratory Contest!

It's been three years since NovelAI was first publicly released on June 16th, 2021. To continue celebrating this momentous occasion, we’ll be hosting contests in two categories: Visual Art and Written Storytelling!

Three is a magic number; it appears everywhere, from fairytales to philosophy to daily life. Three little pigs outsmart a big bad wolf, Goldilocks explores the home of three bears, genies notoriously grant three wishes. This ubiquity is also known as the 'Rule of Three', encapsulated by the Latin hendiatris Omne Trium Perfectum: "All that comes in three is perfect."

Theme
Good Things Come in Threes!
Instructions

Create a NovelAI Diffusion piece to celebrate NovelAI's third anniversary, with the central theme being a set or group of three.

Three people, worlds, objects, sections of image, or even the number 3. We want to see beautiful scenes depicting trios of any type!

Lock in with NovelAIDiffusion to create your winning masterpiece. Feel free to make use of all the tools at your disposal:
• Employ the built-in Canvas to direct the AI however you desire
• Skillful use of img2img can help craft a perfect composition
Vibe Transfer might adapt your image to the right mood
• Got an almost perfect image? Perhaps the power of inpainting will fix whatever is amiss!

Don't know what to generate? How about our adorable mascot, NAI-chan, or the NovelAI Text Model avatars? Maybe a triptych, featuring your favorite original characters? Anything goes, but remember: good things come in threes!

Art must be:
• Created by the submitter
• Created with a NovelAI Diffusion model of your choice

Three Years of Imagined Worlds: Memories
Details

As we celebrate three years of crafting imagined worlds, we invite you to revisit those personal, memorable highlights that have left an unforgettable mark upon your heart.

Capture the spirit of your favorite journey with a single, powerful screenshot—an emblem of the inspiration and creativity which defines your very own legacy.

Use the built-in Screenshot Designer to capture the most memorable highlight of one of your favorite stories, whether that be a poem, an intense action scene, a romantic confession, your first kill, or the final conclusion of a grand adventure. We want to see the most outstanding memory you've ever made over the past three years with NovelAI!

Haven't made any exceptional memories, yet? Just get lost in a story you're currently writing, and submit a screenshot of the scene which stands out to you. You'll know it when you see it.

Your story screenshot must be:
• SFW
• Written by the submitter
• Related to the Theme

Your stories may not include:
• Pre-existing IPs of any kind
• Overtly sexually explicit content

How to Participate

Once you've selected a suitable story passage, highlight all text you desire to be featured in your screenshot; we don't limit the visual length of your submission, but, keep your reader's attention span in mind! Then, select the Burger Menu on the very right side, and navigate to the "Take Screenshot" option.

Now, fiddling with the Screenshot Designer's settings can create the perfect visuals for your story excerpt. Captured a bonus snarky or funny comment from our Hypebot? Toggle the setting and include it. Proud of your work? Include your Pen Name and immortalize yourself as the author. Show which parts were contributed by the AI... or don't! Use whichever combination you are most comfortable with.
