The Grand Prix winner of the "My Style vintage Generative AI Contest 2026," which features a red-brick-style building, was selected, and the winning works under the summer theme were announced. The winning works are identified by their Instagram handles, and digital gifts are awarded as prizes. They will subsequently be published and used on the official social media accounts and dedicated webpage.
The open call ran from 22 July 2026 to 16 August 2026, and the winning works were announced on 31 August 2026. The entries were generative AI works featuring the building "My Style vintage Asagaya-kita," which has a red-brick-style exterior, and 30 works were submitted.
The Grand Prix was awarded to the image work by @captainf23102, who received a digital gift worth ¥80,000. The Excellence Award was given to the video work by @pel_japan_ai and the image work by @saiku1097, with each recipient receiving a digital gift worth ¥30,000. The Judges' Award was given to the video work by @fudemoji_okinawa, with a digital gift worth ¥20,000 awarded. The Audience Award went to the image work by @thetakamonik.sakyoku, and a digital gift worth ¥20,000 has been awarded. There was no recipient for the Student Award.
The Grand Prix-winning work was praised for its composition, which places the summer theme and the building at the centre, the arrangement of the reddish exterior walls, blue sky, clouds and sunflowers, and its impression of blending photography and painting through pan focus. Its potential to serve as a reference for technical considerations when working with actual architecture was cited as a factor in its evaluation.
