Winners Announced
Final entries reviewed by the full judging panel.
Three ways to enter
Three distinct categories — each judged on its own merits. Enter as many as you want.
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.
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.
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.
