Opening brief
The first competition opens in November.
The opening round is a curated group of about seven creators. Join now and tell us about your work to be considered.
Why compete
Built for the people who actually make the ads
Sponsored generation credits
Brands fund the credits you build with. No subscription, no paying for your own renders to enter.
Cash prizes, multiple winners
Every brief has a ladder of prizes, not one winner. Cash is paid out after a short identity check.
Edit your way
Build in Presto's editor or cut in CapCut, Premiere or Final Cut. AI clips from other tools are welcome.
Open to creators worldwide
Sign up with a name, email and country. Residents of restricted territories cannot receive prizes.
A portfolio that works for you
Every approved entry lives on your public profile. Brands browse their library by creator and invite you back.
Judged on skill
Brands judge against stated criteria: how well you followed the brief, creativity and craft. No lottery.
How to win
Five habits of creators who place
Brands judge on skill, against the criteria in the brief. These are the patterns behind the entries that get picked.
- 01
Read the whole brief twice. Most losing entries ignore one hard requirement.
- 02
Open on the hook. The first second decides whether a paid-social viewer stays.
- 03
Keep the product real. Composite real screenshots or photos over generated footage when the model gets it wrong.
- 04
Make the brand want to run it tomorrow: right format, right length, a clean end card.
- 05
Enter early. Early entries get seen first, and feedback from a brand can shape your second entry.
