  • Will my image / video have a watermark?Yes — every entry carries the "She Designs × StudioRam" co-brand mark so the judges and your audience know it's a real contest entry. It's the campaign identity, not a downsell.
  • Is the inspiration costume what actually gets made?No — your AI image is a creative inspiration. If you win, SHE Designs builds your real costume custom to fit you and reflect your style. Picked costumes are starting points, not fixed specs.
