Thank you to everyone who submitted entries into this contest! It was a blast to see all the amazing art you created. After deliberation by our judges, these are the winners:
Flex your creative and computational skill with Wolfram’s Computational Art Contest that kicks off today, Monday, March 28th! Share your work with the community, and potentially win free Wolfram merchandise. Programmers and artists of all skill levels are encouraged to participate!
This contest is inspired by Genuary, an annual project releasing generative art prompts during the month of January. We’re elated to see the creative works of our users and engage with the community while exploring the scope of computational art within the Wolfram Language.
Rules & Guidelines
Submission deadline is April 25th at 9am Central Time. Posts posted
after will not be included in judging
Participants must fill out a detailed Community profile ( example: https://community.wolfram.com/web/claytonshonkwiler ) and create a
Community post about their submission. The post must include the code
used to create graphics and the final piece of art placed at the top
of the post. An explanation of how their code works is required,
moreover participants are encouraged to write more about their
creative process.
Participants submit their entry by commenting on this post with an
image of their art, along with a link to their Community post
Multiple submissions per participant are allowed, but please keep the
number of submissions under three
Each participant can only win once. Participants’ best-performing
piece, as determined by the judges, will be used when determining
winners
Both static images and animations can be submitted. Animations are
preferred in a GIF format; if the animation is too large for a GIF,
the post can point to a public YouTube video.
Submissions will be judged by a handful of Wolfram experts, with the
following parameters:
- Visual aesthetics
- Wolfram Language code
- Creativity
- Explanation of process
Submissions from all areas of computational art are welcome
Submissions from former or current Wolfram employees are allowed, but
will be judged as their own category with only one winner
Submitting previous work/posts is allowed, but must meet the
requirements stated above
We encourage you to vote and comment on other people’s submissions.
Please spread the word about this competition, among your friends and
other social media!
Prizes
First, second, and third place winners will be featured on all of Wolfram’s social media accounts, as well as receiving their choice of free Wolfram merchandise. We are able to ship merchandise to countries listed on the Wolfram Store: https://store.wolfram.com. If your country is not listed on the Wolfram Store, we strongly encourage you to still submit an entry, as we will feature winners submissions regardless of location.

Hey Eryn, Great idea. Not that I care too much about winners or losers, because, in my book, anyone who even tries is already a valuable community member. https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/2506196 . Sorry, I can’t give away all my secrets how to color just yet, but good news, there will be more releases through WFR soon. --Brad
Cylindrical mirror anamorphism is about reflection of deformed (anamorphic) images in a cylindrical mirror. The reflection shows the original, undeformed image. In my Wolfram Demonstrations “Cylindrical Mirror Anamorphosis” and “Cylindrical Anamorphosis of Some Popular Images”, I showed how these static anamorphic images be made. In my Wolfram Community contribution " Introducing Anamorphic Movies ", I did the same for moving (rotating) images. As an example, the above GIF shows to the left the moving deformed anamorphic image on an iPad and to the right its undeformed reflection in a cylindrical mirror.
