Wide Worlds Imaginarium

Theme: Write the Lore. Create the Look. You build the World, we’ll make it Wide.

The Concept:

Your imagination holds the key to new worlds. We want you to write the stories and describe a visual style, and we’ll bring your vision to life using Wide Worlds’ AI-powered tools.

This isn’t just about writing - it’s about creating an entire universe through your words and descriptions. And if your idea grabs us, we’ll build your world for you to expand and explore.

How It Works:

1. Write the Lore:

   • Craft a short story or lore document (500–750 words) describing a world, its characters, or a unique place.

   • What makes your world interesting? What are its mysteries, conflicts, and rules?

2. Create the Look:

   • Using this Wide Worlds campaign, generate images creating your world.

   • Create a folder with a collection of images that best depict this world. Think art direction, character designs, landscapes, mood, and color palettes. We recommend a minimum of 6.

   • Is your world neon-punk and glitchy? Or maybe watercolor-soft and dreamlike? Be specific, be bold.

   • If you are a visual artist - we’d love to see your art, and any captions expanding on their lore.

3. Post Your Entry on X:

   • Share your story and visuals as a single thread or a series of tweets.

   • Tag @wideworlds_ai and use #WideWorldsImaginarium.

4. We’ll Make the Best Ideas Real:

   • Our team will turn the top entries into a world for you to further explore

   • You’ll be credited as the original creator and will collaborate with us to refine your vision.

What To Make:

• A Story Thread: A single tweet or thread that lay out your world’s story, characters, and aesthetics.

  • Include Lore Documents: Tweeted excerpts or a linked document that explain your world’s lore.

  • Include Images from the Imaginarium (or from your own creation): Images that focus on the visual style and creative direction of your world. Please include in your tweets, and if more please link a folder in your lore document. We recommend a minimum of 6 images.
