For partners
Sponsor a Kleon Open challenge.
Crowdsource creative concepts from a global field of creators working with AI as a medium. A sponsored Kleon Open challenge is a brief, a juried gallery, and a curated short-list of concepts — all wrapped inside a single public competition cycle.
What it's for
Use cases.
A sponsored challenge is most useful when you are looking for creative direction, not finished deliverables.
- Campaign concept exploration
- Visual direction studies
- Concept art and worldbuilding
- Poster and key-art ideas
- Mascot and character concepts
- Logo and identity exploration
- Brand moodboards
- Album, book, podcast, or game cover directions
Promise
Posted prizes paid in full
When a sponsored challenge offers a prize, that prize is paid in full. Kleon Open never reduces posted prize money through platform fees.
Promise
Concepts, not production
Sponsored Challenges are designed for concept exploration and marketing attention — not as a guarantee of final production-ready assets.
Promise
Curated, not crowdsourced chaos
Every entry is reviewed before it appears in the gallery. Sponsors see a curated public field, not raw uploads.
