Daily Contests & the Annual Competition

SILA runs daily contests (Themed and Mirror) alongside the Annual competition. Every submission and award in daily contests earns points, which count toward annual ranking bonuses and special-award nominations.

🏆 Annual Competition Entry

Open registration — anyone can enter the annual celebration directly, without first winning a daily contest. Daily-contest points count toward annual ranking bonuses and special-award nominations, but are not an entry requirement. Great work should never be kept out by a qualification gate.

Awards Structure · Full YearEach Mirror and Themed round awards Gold, Silver and Bronze (3 winners each) — 90 daily awards over the year, plus annual Gold, Silver, Bronze and special prizes.
