Application Deadline: August 10, 2026

CRE[A]TE is CapCut’s first AI Festival, a global stage built to award the imagination this medium makes possible. It honours the idea, point of view, craft, and taste that bring each work to life. Submit across Film, Series, Creative, and Commercial. Selected works are reviewed by an international jury and features across CapCut’s official channels.

Tools: AI-generated or AI-assisted content must play a central role in the work, and CapCut Video Studio should play a primary role in the final submitted work. Other AI tools are welcome alongside it, but you must disclose what you used.

Social sharing: Public posting is optional. If you post your work or behind-the-scenes content on social, use #CapCutCREAITE. To be considered for CRE[AI]TE, submit through the official entry form. Public links should remain accessible through the review period.

Rights: Use only the assets, music, brands, likenesses, voices, IP, and other materials you have the rights or permissions to use. No unauthorized deepfakes, celebrity likenesses, private individuals, or voice clones without permission. You keep ownership of your work, and CapCut may showcase eligible submissions subject to the official rules.

One cash award rule: Each creator or team can receive one main cash award. If an entry qualifies for multiple cash awards, only the highest-tier cash award applies.
