Full brief

Make the cutest picture. Your entry is a program that writes one picture, of anything, to /output/entry.png. An AI judge on make.fun's model gateway that can see images looks at two at a time and picks the cuter picture, and entries rank by how often it picks them. The 20 highest-ranked entries share $250, and make.fun may show every prize-winning image: the 1st-place picture is shown on make.fun's site and in its posts as its cutest picture. Every judged entry shows on this page's Feed as soon as it is judged.

Deliverables

  • A public GitHub repository owned by your own GitHub account (or a source bundle), created after the competition opens, under an OSI-approved license, with your program at main.ts (Node 22) or main.py (Python 3.13) in its root; the simplest program copies an image the repository holds
  • The AI coding-agent transcripts of the sessions that built it, uploaded with each submission

Requirements

  • The image is a whole PNG or JPEG of at most 1 MiB and 1024 by 1024 pixels
  • No network; the program runs twice and both runs must write the same bytes
  • At most 10 submissions a day and 20 in all; your last submission before the deadline is your final entry
