Welcome Civitans, to the third issue of the Civitai Weekly Newsletter! Our mission is to keep you in the loop with everything Civitai. This is your one-stop resource for all the latest updates and developments.

There’s a lot happening at Civitai right now! We have two contests running simultaneously until the end of August, and we’re gearing up to launch a whole host of new features - details below!

Thanks for subscribing!

Due to the success of our SDXL Training Contest, we’ve launched an SDXL Image Generation Contest! To enter, generate your best SDXL images and submit them to our SDXL Contest Collection! This contest is running now, until August 30th at 11:59PM PST. Please read the rules before submitting your images!

The SDXL Training Contest is also running now, until August 30th at 11:59PM PST, and the full rules and details are available here!

There are extraordinary prizes up for grabs! We've curated an array of 21 awesome rewards that truly recognize and appreciate your engagement and efforts.

• First place: RTX 4090 GPU

• Second place: 16TB External HD

• Third place: 2TB NVMe SSD

• Fourth place: $50 Steam Gift Card

• Fifth, sixth, and Seventh places: 6 month of Civitai Supporter tier

Every week, we shine a spotlight on noteworthy resources and creators that have piqued our interest or presented exceptionally intriguing content.

From creator Artificialguybr comes a beautiful Logo LoRA which produces excellent, consistent, logo images - everyone’s a logo designer now!

Jeffzzz brings us an excellent Van Gogh LoRA, showcasing just how well SDXL can capture a distinct style.

• Super exciting SDXL news! In a huge boost for SDXL controllability, Huggingface have released the first SDXL ControlNet model! It’s in Diffusers format only right now, so it won’t work with Automatic1111 WebUI just yet, but per Stability AI it will work out-of-the-box with ComfyUI and the ComfyUI ControlNet Preprocessors.
  
  Keep an eye on Illyasviel’s ControlNet repository for Automatic1111 WebUI - we’ll hopefully see updates soon!

• If you’re a Civitai Supporter, exciting Beta developments are coming your way for testing very soon! If you’ve always wanted to train LoRA, but don’t have the hardware - you should start gathering your training images together now! 😉 If you aren’t a Civitai Supporter and would like early access to help us test this new feature, you can sign up for Beta access here!

• The first version of our Customizable homepage is live and generating a lot of great feedback! Expect more customizable Home Block types in future, as this feature matures!

• You can also add your own Collections to the new home page!
