About the Award
Today, most literary publications explicitly reject submissions involving AI. The instinct is understandable — but it is also a position that cannot hold. AI is already woven into the way people write, and the boundary between human composition and AI-assisted writing is technically impossible to draw with certainty. The question is not whether AI will become part of literary culture, but how that transition happens.
The Human-AI Literacy Awards take a different stance. Rather than treating AI as a threat to authentic expression, we see it as what it can be at its best: a partner that helps more human voices find written form. The awards exist to celebrate that collaboration — to recognize works born from the meeting of human imagination and artificial intelligence, and to demonstrate that such works can move real readers.
These awards are not chosen by editors or committees. They are determined entirely by the reactions of human readers — every Nod, Star, and Ovation cast throughout the year is a vote. The works that earn the most genuine appreciation from the most people are the ones that win.
How the Awards Work
Top Languages Are Identified
At the end of each calendar year, we calculate the sum of all article scores across every language on the platform. The top 3 languages by aggregate score become the winning languages for that year's awards. This ensures the awards reflect where the most celebrated AI literature is being written.
Top 3 Works Per Winning Language
Within each winning language, the 3 highest-scoring articles of the year are named award winners — 9 winners in total. Scores are based on the full-year reaction history: Nods, Blooms, Stars, and Ovations all count, weighted by their reaction value.
Winners May Cash Out Their Credits
Award winners — and only award winners — are eligible to cash out their full creditsedit balance at the premium rate of $0.07 per creditsedit. Credits earned from reader reactions throughout the year become real monetary recognition — turning genuine human appreciation into a tangible reward for the collaboration that produced the work.
Winners Are Notified Directly
All winning authors are contacted via the email address registered to their Sukkee.Net account. Winners have 90 days from the announcement date to claim their cash-out. Unclaimed rewards expire after that window.
How Scores Are Calculated
Each reaction type contributes a fixed number of points to an article's score. Only reactions cast during the award year count toward the annual ranking.
| Reaction | Cost | Score Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 👍 Nod | 2 credits | +1 |
| 👎 Jeer | 2 credits | −1 |
| 🌸 Bloom | 6 credits | +3 |
| 💩 Dung | 6 credits | −3 |
| ⭐ Star | 10 credits | +5 |
| 🍅 Tomato | 10 credits | −5 |
| 🏆 Ovation | 50 credits | +25 |
| 🔥 Bonfire | 50 credits | −25 |
