Graphics Grading Scale
Limit of 5 per week
Any graphic found to be generated, in whole or in part, by artificial intelligence (AI) will automatically receive a grade of 0/5 and will not be eligible for payment.
Grading Scale:
1/5 - $100,000
This category includes hastily assembled designs, poor image quality, obvious unedited source images, poor text legibility, or clear signs of automated template use without customization.
2/5 - $250,000
Some basic graphic design understanding is visible, but significant flaws persist. This includes poorly cut player renders, text that doesn't blend, minimal background changes, or unedited original branding.
3/5 - $450,000
Submissions at this level are generally presentable graphics. Editing software tools are utilized effectively, demonstrating solid design application. Flaws might include slightly imperfect player cutouts, text that could integrate better, backgrounds lacking significant modification, or less-than-ideal fonts.
4/5 - $700,000
Elements are well-blended and professional. Kit swaps or added SSL club crests are precise, with only minor imperfections. Backgrounds are thoughtfully designed, enhancing visual impact, and text is aesthetic and readable.
5/5 - $1,000,000
These graphics are flawless. There are no discernible issues that detract from the overall quality or impact of the submission whatsoever. Every aspect, from composition to execution, is of the highest standard.

Video Grading Scale
Any video submission found to be generated, in whole or in part, by artificial intelligence (AI) will automatically receive a grade of 0/3 and will not be eligible for payment.
1/3 - $500,000
Videos at least 45 seconds in length that exhibit significant issues with visual or audio quality (low resolution, poor sound, unstable footage). Editing is minimal or choppy, making content difficult to follow. The overall message or narrative is unclear.
2/3 - $1,250,000
Videos at least 2 minutes in length that demonstrate clear effort with acceptable visual and audio quality. Editing is functional and conveys the message, but may lack polish, dynamic transitions, or consistent pacing. Room for technical and creative refinement remains.
3/3 - $2,000,000
Videos at least 4 minutes in length that are flawless. No discernible issues are detracting from the overall quality or impact. Visuals are crisp, audio is clear, and editing is seamless and professional.
