Track 1 — AI/Hybrid Film

Create a 60–180 second campaign video using CapCut for a partner charity or social enterprise. Submit your finished video and a reusable production workflow. Document your sources, AI use and fact-checks.

Track 2 — Interactive Web Page

Build an HTML page with at least two types of interaction, responding to a partner charity or social enterprise’s brief. Submit your page and a reusable workflow, documenting your sources and AI use.

Make the process useful, too.

Submit your finished work alongside a reusable workflow. Document your sources and AI use; film submissions must also document fact-checks. Judges assess both the creative output and the workflow.
