Every AI film
contest. One place.
The only tracker for creative AI film competitions, festivals, grants, and challenges. Deadline-verified daily by an agent that actually reads each page.
Never miss a deadline
New contests within a day of opening, a last call before deadlines close, and what's closing each week — a few emails a month, never daily. 69 contests are open right now. Signing up also sends you the free creator pack.
Every contest, one place
276 tracked and 69 open right now — festivals, studio challenges, grants and brand briefs, not just the famous ones.
Deadlines you can trust
An agent re-reads the official page every morning. When a festival extends or quietly closes, the date here changes that day.
Told before it closes
One email when new contests open, one last call three days before a deadline. Never more than that.
Found a contest? Here's how to make the entry.

Frequently asked
- What counts as an AI film contest on this site?
- Any competition, festival, grant or challenge built around AI-made or AI-assisted film, video or animation. Eligibility is set by each organizer, not by us — some require the entry to be generated entirely by AI, others only require AI to be part of the process. Check each contest’s own rules page for what qualifies.
- Are there free contests to enter?
- Yes — 45 of the 69 contests open right now have no entry fee. See the full, always-current list on the Free to Enter page.
- How do the deadline alerts work?
- They’re free. Subscribe once with your email and we’ll notify you when a new contest opens and again 7 days before any deadline closes — no account or payment needed.
