Generative Art Contest | Pixel by Pixel: The Art of CHANCE

Channel your inner artist and create an image that involves some aspect of randomness.

The editors of CHANCE magazine are accepting entries of generative art that involves randomness. To enter, provide the image you have created, your code, and any other information (e.g., seed for random generator used) the judges would need to reproduce your image.

Each submission should include a short descriptive essay of the creative process, including which artist served as the inspiration and motivation for the tools used. All submissions must be original art and not created by an AI application.

Judging criteria include the following:

  • Level of creativity and originality
  • Quality of artistic composition and overall design (color, tone, patterns, shapes, balance)
  • Demonstrated computational and artistic skill
  • Interpretation of chosen artist’s style, based on artwork and essay

*Extra points will be given for writing original code (C++, R, Python, Julia) to generate the artwork.

Awards will be given in the middle- and high-school student, undergraduate student, graduate student, and professional categories.

Submissions are due by August 31. Visit the magazine website for contest details.
