The 5th AI Art Grand Prix Announced

In response to the rapid advancements in AI for drawing and music composition, which are enhancing human artistic imagination, we are pleased to announce the '5th AI Art Grand Prix.' This event aims to explore the future of human-AI symbiosis, where humans utilize AI to expand their own capabilities. We are calling for art submissions that leverage AI, which will be evaluated through a rigorous judging process.

Following three consecutive years of success in 2023, 2024, and 2025, which garnered significant media attention, the 5th AI Art Grand Prix has been confirmed. The event will be renewed with a format designed to better showcase the creativity of artists in line with the evolution of AI. 【Purpose】 To explore the direction of active AI utilization as a means of human expression and to foster artists who utilize AI.

Generative AI is taking the world by storm. I believe it is important to discover new creativity by sparking interactions between our nation's culture, art, history, and cutting-edge technology through AI. We are in the midst of a rapidly changing era. I hope participants will seize this as an opportunity to make a mark on the creative world through proactive attempts to use AI to empower themselves. I am also looking forward to the newly established still image category, which further expands the scope of expression. Jury Chair: Yoichiro Kawaguchi
