Theme
Build an app — anything goes. The best apps get people generating.
From productivity tools to games, image and video generators to viral novelty apps — if it gives people a reason to create on Higgsfield, it belongs here. Pick an idea, build it in App Builder, publish it, and get the world using it.
Your app must use Higgsfield image and/or video generation functionality. Apps that route generation through third-party APIs instead of Higgsfield will be disqualified.
No fixed theme. Just build something people can't stop using.

Judging
Winners are selected by an internal jury panel. Entries are evaluated across the following criteria:
| Criteria | Weight | What we're looking for |
|---|---|---|
| Usage Generated | 40% | Total Higgsfield platform usage by users inside your app. This is the primary metric. |
| Creativity & Concept | 30% | Originality and strength of the app idea |
| Social Media Engagement | 15% | Reach, views, likes, shares, and comments on your public post |
| Platform Engagement | 15% | Views, likes, and generations inside the Higgsfield app gallery |
- "Usage" means verified Higgsfield platform usage inside your app, not underlying provider cost
- A creator's own usage inside their app does count toward the total
- Higgsfield may, at its sole discretion, discount or disregard usage it determines to be artificially inflated (e.g. self-funded pumping or coordinated activity that does not reflect genuine usage)
- Rankings refresh every 24 hours during the contest
- All placements — 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and the 10 honorable mentions — are selected at the jury's discretion. Metrics inform but do not bind the decision. Jury decisions are final.
Prohibited Content
- Protected intellectual property (characters, franchises, brands, logos, music, etc.)
- Pornographic or explicitly sexual content
- Violence against real individuals
- Political statements, endorsements, or propaganda
- Religious statements, proselytizing, or disparagement
- Illegal, defamatory, or rights-violating content
- Otherwise inappropriate content as defined by Higgsfield's usage restrictions
Originality & Ownership
- You must own or have the rights to all content, code, and assets in your app
- Submitting an app affirms it is your original work and does not infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any third party
- Ensuring originality and non-infringement is solely the participant's responsibility; we do not mediate disputes among participants
Disputes Between Participants
- Higgsfield does not mediate, investigate, or adjudicate disputes between participants, including allegations that one entry copies or infringes another
- Higgsfield is not obligated to disclose any participant's prompts, files, account data, or other materials to another participant
- Higgsfield will disclose such information only where required as part of an official external legal process (e.g. valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand)
- Any infringement dispute between participants must be resolved directly between those parties; the sole remedy from Higgsfield may be its discretionary right to disqualify an entry
Disqualification
Higgsfield reserves the right to disqualify and ban participants who submit apps containing copyrighted IP, pornography, or content that violates community guidelines. Violation of any contest terms may result in permanent removal from current and future contests.
Legal
- Any disputes arising from this Contest will be decided in courts located in San Francisco, California under Delaware law.
- Higgsfield has final say in the interpretation and implementation of these rules. Higgsfield may adjust these rules at its discretion.
