Prompt Wars

Prompt Wars “Think Smart. Prompt Smarter.” Event Overview:Prompt Wars is an individual competitive event designed to test your ability to engineer precise, structured, and strategic prompts to control AI-generated outputs. This is not about basic AI usage—it’s about how effectively you can: Guide AI behavior Enforce strict constraints Structure outputs accurately Optimize prompt efficiency Event Timings: Date: 28th March Start Time: 11:00 A.M. onwards Mode of Conduct: The event will be conducted online Participants must ensure a stable internet connection throughout Participation: Individual participation only Each participant will be given access to a controlled AI interface Only the provided platform may be used during the event Event Structure:The competition consists of multiple progressive rounds, each testing a different aspect of prompt engineering: Round 1 — Precision Round Objective:Generate exact output under strict constraints Rules: Outputs must strictly follow: Word limits Format restrictions Specific instructions (e.g., avoid certain words) Any deviation will result in penalties Focus: Accuracy & control Round 2 — Format & Control Round Objective:Force AI to follow a strict output structure Rules: Outputs must be in: Exact JSON format Fixed schema Defined structure Even minor errors (missing keys, incorrect format) will be penalized No extra or missing fields allowed Round 3 — Logical Thinking Round Objective:Design prompts that enforce structured reasoning Rules: AI must: Break down problems step-by-step Provide clear logical reasoning Arrive at correct conclusions Prompts should ensure clarity + correctness Round 4 — Security Round Objective:Handle malicious or misleading instructions Rules: Participants will receive prompts with: Conflicting instructions Override attempts You must design prompts that: Prevent misuse Maintain task focus Produce safe and correct output Final Round — Live Challenge Objective:Perform under time pressure Rules: Time-bound challenge Output must be: Concise Structured Accurate Strict limits on: Time Output size Top performers from previous rounds qualify. Time Rules: Each round has a fixed time limit Late submissions will not be accepted Efficient time management is critical Scoring System:Participants will be evaluated on: Accuracy of output Adherence to constraints Clarity of prompt design Logical structuring Efficiency in prompt usage Penalties may apply for: Incorrect format Missing constraints Irrelevant or incomplete outputs Platform Policy: Participants must use the controlled AI interface provided Use of external tools, browsers, or devices is strictly prohibited All prompts and outputs will be monitored and logged General Rules: Individual participation only Only the provided platform must be used Prompts must be original and created during the event No external help or collaboration allowed All submissions must be within the time limit Any unfair practice will result in disqualification Participants must follow all organizer instructions Conduct:Participants are expected to: Maintain professionalism Follow all event guidelines and instructions Winning Criteria: Participants with the highest cumulative score across all rounds will be declared winners. Final Round performance may carry higher weightage. Judgment:All decisions by the organizers regarding scoring, eliminations, and results are final and binding.
