1
UGC STYLE
The ad that doesn't
feel like an ad.
Authentic, creator-first work — talking-head, product-in-hand, native-to-social. The kind of work that lives on the FYP and converts because it doesn't try too hard.
2
AVATAR STYLE
Synthetic performance, real impact.
AI avatar, lipsync, and persona-driven work pushing the boundaries of synthetic performance. Show us what AI can do when you give it a script and a point of view.
3
BRAND STORY
A complete world in
60 seconds.
30–60 second narrative ads that tell a complete brand story end-to-end. Hook, build, land — like the best brand films.

FAQ
FAQ
What kind of ad can I make? Does it need to be for a specific product?
What kind of ad can I make? Does it need to be for a specific product?
Anything. An ad for a sports drink. An ad for your friend's startup. An ad for planet Earth. An ad for a product that doesn't exist yet. Real brand, made-up brand, no brand at all — all fair game. The format is yours to pick (testimonial, narrative, comedy, manifesto), and so is the product. We just want to see your best work. Two ground rules: your entry must be your own original concept (not a copy of an existing campaign), and don't use real people's likeness without their permission (no celebrity deepfakes).
Can I enter more than one track?
Can I enter more than one track?
Yes. Submit a separate entry per track — each must be a different video.
