At LightBox Expo, we celebrate the imagination, craftsmanship, and perspective of human creators. The event exists to showcase the work of artists, writers, designers, and storytellers whose ideas are brought to life through their own creative vision. That is why we are committed to supporting and showcasing the work of human creatives and are strictly against the use of AI tools in art.

For that reason, we ask all exhibitors to help preserve this standard by ensuring that the products they display and sell are the result of human creativity and craftsmanship.

Products that have been created with the use of generative AI tools (such as text-to-image tools) are strictly prohibited.

We recognize that many artists use technology throughout their workflow. As a result, the use of tools that may assist with minor editing or production (such as spell checkers, image upscalers, basic photo filters and/or accessibility tools) are permitted provided that the core creative process remains human-driven and the work on display reflects the unique experiences and creative decisions of the people who made it.

Any Exhibitors found in violation of this Policy may be asked to remove any prohibited products and/or may be disqualified from participation at LightBox Expo.

When it comes to creative expression at LightBox Expo, we choose to stand firmly with human creators. We appreciate your respect and support of this policy.
