AI USE POLICY FOR LIFANIMA

The contest encourages creativity, storytelling, and artistic expression in animation. Participants may use emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), provided that human creativity and authorship remain central to the work.

Acceptable Use of AI

Participants may use AI tools to support parts of the creative process, which may include:

  • Idea generation or brainstorming
  • Audio Enhancement
  • Background elements or textures
  • Editing assistance, etc.

However, since the festival does not have a specific category for AI,  fully AI-generated animations with minimal human modification are not eligible.

Disclosure Requirement

All participants must disclose whether AI tools were used. Submissions must include a short AI Use Statement describing:

  • The AI tools used (if any)
  • The stage of production where AI was used
  • The extent of AI-generated content

Failure to disclose AI use may result in disqualification.

Originality and Ownership

Participants must ensure that the submitted animation is their original work, that they have the right to use all assets, and that AI-generated elements do not infringe on existing copyrighted material.

Participants are responsible for ensuring compliance with intellectual property rules.
