As AI reshapes the definition of creativity, it is time for Istanbul to push the boundaries. The Istanbul edition of the AI Creative Challenge, launched by The One Club for Creativity with Google as its sponsor, will be hosted by ADC*Türkiye. Taking place on November 14 at CoBAC Workspace, the AI Creative Challenge Istanbul will bring together creative professionals who are confident in their command of AI tools and eager to put their creative skills to the test under pressure. Participants will be able to join the challenge by completing the application form.
Creativity Tested in a 10-Minute Sprint
The AI Creative Challenge offers a format that is far from a traditional creative competition. Described by The One Club for Creativity as “a competition where the world’s best AI makers face off against emerging AI stars,” the challenge follows a bracket-style system inspired by esports tournaments.
Participants will face one another in head-to-head matchups on stage. In each round, they will receive a randomly selected brief and have just 10 minutes to develop a creative solution that responds to the brief, using the power of generative AI tools.
The core idea behind The One Club for Creativity’s AI Creative Challenge is clear: AI is evolving beyond being simply a production tool, becoming a new arena where human creativity and technological skills are put to the test together.
The challenge therefore goes beyond how proficiently a participant can use a particular AI tool. It puts the spotlight on speed, creativity, technical skills, and the ability to make the right creative decisions under pressure.
The Winner Will Be Chosen by Global and Local Industry Leaders
At the Istanbul edition, participants’ performances will be evaluated by a jury comprising global and local representatives from the creative industry. Following the tournament-style competition, Istanbul’s AI Creative Challenge champion will be crowned.
But the Istanbul final will not be the end of the journey for the winner.
The Istanbul champion will have the opportunity to represent Türkiye at the global finals in New York in early 2027. What begins as a 10-minute creative sprint in Istanbul will therefore continue as an international competition, bringing together creative talent from around the world.
An Open Call to Ambitious Creative Professionals
Beyond the competition itself, the event will bring creativity and technology together in a social experience featuring DJ performances, food, and drinks.
This global format, brought to Istanbul by ADC*T Türkiye, will give creative professionals in Türkiye the opportunity to test their AI capabilities on an international platform and become part of the global creative community.
Creative professionals who are confident in their AI skills and ready to take on the challenge: this is your invitation.
