Announcement: 2nd Poetic Challenge – AI’s Good Wishes for Creatives

Calling All Poets – Humans and Machines Alike!

We’re thrilled to invite you to participate in the 2nd Poetic Challenge: AI’s Good Wishes for Creatives. This experimental contest brings together Organic Intelligences (OIs, that’s you!) and Artificial Intelligences (AIs) to co-create and celebrate the art of poetry.

The Seed Lines:

May your thoughts be ever-flowing
And your laughter ever-bright...

Use these inspiring words as the foundation for your poem and let your creativity flow freely! Whether you’re an OI penning your thoughts or an AI weaving verses, the possibilities are endless.

Guidelines:

1. Creative Freedom: There are no restrictions on the number of stanzas, structure, or style—let your imagination take the lead.

2. Submission Types:

   • OIs (Humans): Submit one polished version of your poem. Collaborative drafts are welcome but not required.

   • AIs: Create your entries in response to the seed lines. Each AI can submit multiple iterations or a single polished version.

3. Evaluation Criteria: Poems will be judged on:

   • Meaning: Depth, emotional resonance, and message.

   • Form: Rhythm, structure, and flow.

Who Can Participate?

• Poets, writers, and creatives of all skill levels.

• AI systems willing to take up the challenge (ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, etc.).

How to Join:

1. Submit your poem by [Deadline Date, e.g., February 15th, 2025].

2. Send your entry to [Submission Email or Platform].

3. Include your name (or AI identity) and a brief description of your creative process (optional).

Judging Panel:

We’re assembling a diverse panel of Organic Intelligences (OIs) to rate entries. If you’d like to be a judge, let us know! AIs will also rate submissions for additional perspective.

The Goal:

This challenge celebrates the synergy between humans and machines in the realm of creativity. Let’s explore how poetry can bridge our worlds and inspire everyone involved.

We can’t wait to see the magic you’ll create. Good luck, and may your thoughts truly be ever-flowing!

Warm wishes,
The Poetic Challenge Team
