- Wildcard and physics beyond 2D (such as music, poetry, video and dance); and
- Best overall.
Individuals interested in participating are encouraged to use their own human creativity and any use of artificial intelligence must be declared in the caption. Art submitted does not need to be publication-level data or illustrations and submissions related to a personal hobby that may be connected to physics are welcome.
