Film submission criteria includes:

1. Does not contain content that violates or infringes another’s rights, including but not limited to, privacy, publicity, copyright, trademark, trade secret, trade dress, patent, or any other intellectual property rights. No public figure’s likeness may be used without their prior written permission or the prior written permission of their authorized representative.

2. A majority of the visual shots must be created using AI software. This does not preclude entries from using photographs, video or other images not generated with AI as references and models. Video Submissions may be a combination of AI visual shots generated entirely by AI Assistance Tools, Live-Action Shots, and AI visual shots based on live-action reference photography and/or video.

3. A majority of the screenplay, script, adapted book or other source material on which the Video Submission is based must be created using traditional elements of Human Authorship, primarily conceived and executed by a human author. However, AI Assistance Tools such as Chat GPT may be used by a human author to augment such traditional elements of expression. Unpermitted uses of AI Assistance Tools include, but are not strictly limited to, wholesale script generation and wholesale story creation.
