$1,000 PromptWise NYC Ad Challenge

About this challenge

Daniel Riley set the community a design brief that doubled as real-world marketing scouting for PromptWise — AI Video Bootcamp’s sister SaaS platform: create an ad for PromptWise that could plausibly appear in Times Square, across the NYC subway system, or in another major advertising placement.

Five winners each received $200, splitting the full $1,000 prize pool evenly. Every winner used PromptWise to generate the visuals for their entry — so the ads-for-a-generation-platform pitch got a live demo of the platform’s actual output.

Winners

• Jose Antonio Gomes — subway-platform billboard with a photoreal koi fish and the caption “This billboard was made in 8 seconds”
• Noella Pondja — Times Square jumbo screen with a purple-suited astronaut and the line “Generate the Impossible - Your Vision One Tool”
• Timothy Phelps — NYC subway car ad featuring a photoreal dinosaur bursting through with the tagline “Your Idea Wants Out” (hero image of this showcase)
• Filip Ribicic — NYC advertising placement using PromptWise
• David Gunner — NYC advertising placement using PromptWise

Each winner received $200 - total prize pool $1,000.

Curated runner-up entries

Below the winners you’ll find a set of curated runner-up entries picked from the challenge thread. All entries were built using PromptWise across a range of NYC-native placements — subway cars, subway platforms, Times Square jumbotrons, storefront billboards, and street-level poster sites.
