The Civitai H3 Contest: 2 Million Buzz Up For Grabs

<h2 id="a-word-from-your-host">🌙 A Word From Your Host</h2>Hello everyone!Some of us had imaginary friends when we were children.Some of us invented entire kingdoms, secret cities, monsters under the bed, worlds beyond the clouds, or places that only existed when we closed our eyes.And sometimes, even after growing up, a small piece of those worlds never really disappears.So for this Pass It Forward bounty, I want to see the things that once lived in your imagination — or maybe still do.It can be warm, strange, funny, unsettling, nostalgic, beautiful, or completely impossible.The only thing I ask is that it feels like something that could have lived in someone’s mind for years.<hr /><h1 id="what-is-pass-it-forward">🔥 WHAT IS PASS IT FORWARD?</h1>Most bounties end when the prize is awarded.This one doesn’t.The overall winner receives the 10K Buzz Pass It Forward prize and becomes the next host.That 10K Buzz is not simply a personal reward — it is the prize pool that must be passed forward into the next Pass It Forward bounty.One bounty becomes another, then another, and the chain continues.So yes, there is a winner.But winning also means becoming the next host.You get to choose the next theme, set the mood, and keep the chain alive.Make something you genuinely enjoy creating.And if it wins?Pass it forward.<hr /><h1 id="pass-it-forward-agreement">📜 Pass It Forward

Friend</h2>A creature, person, monster, machine, spirit, animal, or impossible companion that could have existed beside you as a child.Maybe it protected you.Maybe it caused trouble.Maybe only you could see it.Maybe you still remember exactly what it looked like.<hr /><h2 id="your-imaginary-world">◆ Your Imaginary World</h2>Show me a place that could have existed somewhere in your childhood imagination.A city beneath your bed.A forest inside a closet.A kingdom hidden behind the moon.A railway that only appeared at night.A giant creature carrying a village on its back.A world that made perfect sense when you were eight years old.Or maybe something that still exists somewhere in the back of your mind today.<hr /><h2 id="something-between-the-two">◆ Something Between the Two</h2>You can also show the relationship between a person and their imaginary world.An adult meeting their childhood imaginary friend again.A child looking through a doorway into the world they created.A forgotten creature waiting in an abandoned bedroom.A grown person returning to a place that only existed in their imagination.Interpret the idea however you want.<hr /><h1 id="what-i'm-looking-for">✨ What I’m Looking For</h1>The strongest entries will probably have some sense of personal imagination.I don’t just want a random fantasy landscape or a random fantasy character.I want something that feels like:<blockquote>“This could have lived inside someone’s head for years.”</blockquote>It can be:<ul><li>nostalgic</li><li>surreal</li><li>funny</li><li>melancholic</li><li>comforting</li><li>eerie</li><li>whimsical</li><li>absurd</li><li>symbolic</li><li>dreamlike</li></ul>There is no required mood.<hr /><h1 id="judging-criteria">⚖️ Judging Criteria</h1>I’ll be judging the entries personally.There is no strict scoring formula, but these are the things I’ll be paying attention to:<h2 id="imagination">◆ Imagination</h2>Does the concept feel personal, strange, memorable, or unexpected?<h2 id="storytelling">◆ Storytelling</h2>Does the image make me wonder who this friend was, what happened in this world, or why the character still remembers it?<h2 id="atmosphere">◆ Atmosphere</h2>Does the image create a convincing emotional or dreamlike space?<h2 id="composition">◆ Composition</h2>Lighting, framing, visual focus, environment, and presentation.<h2 id="technical-quality">◆ Technical Quality</h2>It does not need to be flawless, but it should feel intentional and finished.<h2 id="the-feeling">◆ The Feeling</h2>The impossible-to-measure part.Some images simply stay in your head.Those tend to do very well with me.<hr /><h1 id="rules">📌 Rules</h1><ul><li>Maximum submissions: 5 images per participant</li><li>One image per entry</li><li>Only one entry per participant can receive an award. No participant can win more than once.</li><li>SFW and NSFW are allowed within CivitAI ToS.</li><li>No XXX / explicit sex</li><li>No underage-looking sexualized characters.</li><li>No extreme gore.</li><li>Do not copy or closely imitate another participant’s entry.</li><li>Any checkpoint, LoRA, workflow, generator, or art style is allowed.</li><li>Metadata should be included where required by CivitAI.</li><li>Follow CivitAI ToS.</li></ul>Most importantly:Be creative.There is no correct version of an imaginary friend.There is no correct imaginary world.<hr /><h1 id="prizes">🏆 Prizes</h1><h2 id="overall-winner-pass-it-forward-prize">🌟 Overall Winner — Pass It Forward Prize</h2>10,000 BuzzThis is the Pass It Forward prize.The overall winner becomes the next host and must use the full 10K Buzz as the prize pool for the next Pass It Forward bounty.<hr /><h2 id="my-personal-favorite-awards">❤️ My Personal Favorite Awards</h2>In addition to the Pass It Forward winner, I will also choose three entries that I personally liked the most.These are separate personal awards and do not affect who receives the Pass It Forward hosting role.🥇 1st Favorite — 4,000 Buzz🥈 2nd Favorite — 2,000 Buzz🥉 3rd Favorite — 1,000 BuzzThese awards are simply for the images that left the strongest impression on me.<hr />Good luck.Now show me the friend nobody else could see…or the world you never completely left behind.
