THE DAILY POSER AI HOLIDAY COVER CONTEST

AI art is having a moment. Some people love it, some hate it, some argue about it at 2 AM in comment sections.

We're leaning all the way in.
For our Holiday Struggle Edition, we're opening the cover to anyone who wants to make AI art. Design a magazine cover that captures the chaos, beauty, dread, or absurdity of the holidays, however you interpret "Holiday Struggle."

Prize: Published cover, $200, permanent bragging rights.

Deadline: Sunday, November 23rd at midnight.

JUDGING CRITERIA

1. Must Be AI-Generated: No hand-drawn elements. Color tweaks and cropping are fine.

2. Originality: Fresh, weird, clever. Not generic winter wallpaper.

3. Theme Fit: Does it capture Holiday Struggle energy?

4. Cover Composition: Strong focal point, space for text, readable layout. Not just a cool image.

5. Technical Standards: Prints cleanly at high resolution.

6. Overall Impact: Does it capture the spirit of what The Daily Poser should be? Bold, local, memorable, and a little unhinged?"
