Styling: [OUTFIT, e.g. a black leather jacket over a printed silk shirt], neatly styled feathered hair and a brooding hero look. Background: a painted [COLOUR, e.g. mustard-yellow] studio backdrop with one dramatic spotlight and a wind machine lifting my collar.

Look: saturated 1990s film-still colours, a slight soft-focus glow and fine grain. Portrait 4:5.

Who can take part?

Anyone. It is free and there is no sign-up. Photo weeks only need a free AI app such as Gemini or ChatGPT; video weeks need a video app such as Veo or Kling.

How are the picks chosen?

Every Monday we choose five favourite posts that use #PromptUpChallenge or tag @usepromptup. We ask each person before we repost their picture or show it on this page.

Does PromptUp see my photo?

No. You add your photo to the AI app yourself. We only see what you choose to post publicly.

When does a new challenge start?

Every Monday. Each challenge runs until Sunday night, and the next three are listed under Coming up so you can plan ahead.
