Overview
Comfy is running a contest offering a $10,000 grand prize for the best open-source rebuild of creative apps such as Higgsfield's Genjutsu or Cinema Studio.
Entries must publish their code repository. Separate awards go to the most innovative, most viral, and open-weights-only entries, each receiving an RTX 5090 GPU, and ten runners-up receive $250 in Comfy credits each. NVIDIA, Runpod, LTX, Black Forest Labs, and MiniMax are backing the contest, which Comfy says runs for two weeks on the Comfy Developer Platform.
