AI Creator Contests & Calls

A hand-picked board of open competitions for AI video and short-film creators — festivals, prize contests and creator calls that are accepting entries right now.

How this board works: every listing is checked by a person against the organizer's own page before it appears here, and every card links straight to that official page. Every listing shows a cash prize, verified against the organizer's official page. Listing is free, we take no fee from organizers or entrants, and deadlines are re-checked by hand. If a detail could not be confirmed on an official page, the card says so.
