The scores from the Judges will determine the potential winners of the applicable prizes. The entrant(s) that are eligible for a prize, and whose Submissions earn the highest overall scores based on the applicable Judging Criteria, will become potential winners of that prize.

1. Tie Breaking: For each prize listed below, if two or more Submissions are tied, the tied Submission with the highest score in the first applicable criterion listed above will be considered the higher scoring Submission. In the event any ties remain, this process will be repeated, as needed, by comparing the tied Submissions’ scores on the next applicable criterion. If two or more Submissions are tied on all applicable criteria, the panel of Judges will vote on the tied Submissions.

1. Prize: The applicable prizes are set forth in the table below.

1. Among the Film, Music Video, and Games Division prizes, each Submission is only eligible for a maximum of one such prize. Among the prizes connected with Promotion Entities (i.e., the Title Sponsor prizes, Gold Sponsor prizes, and Silver Sponsor prizes), each Submission may be eligible for multiple prizes (e.g., a 2nd Prize from ElevenLabs and a 3rd Prize from CapCut). For clarity, no Submission can win more than one prize connected with a single Promotion Entity (e.g., a Submission cannot win a 1st Prize from ElevenLabs and 3rd Prize from ElevenLabs at the same time).

2. Substitutions & Changes: Prizes are non-transferable by the winner. ElevenLabs in its sole discretion has the right to make a prize substitution of equivalent or greater value. ElevenLabs will not award a prize if there are no eligible Submissions entered in the Competition, or if there are no eligible participants or Submissions for a specific prize.

3. Verification Requirement: THE AWARD OF A PRIZE TO A POTENTIAL WINNER IS SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION OF THE IDENTITY, QUALIFICATIONS AND ROLE OF THE POTENTIAL WINNER IN THE CREATION OF THE SUBMISSION. No Submission or participant shall be deemed a winning Submission or winner until their post-competition prize affidavits (the “Required Forms”) have been completed and verified, even if prospective winners have been announced verbally or on the Competition Website. The final decision to designate a winner shall be made by ElevenLabs.

4. Prize Delivery: Prizes will be payable to the participant, if an individual; to the Team Representative, if a Team. It will be the responsibility of the winning Team’s Team Representative to allocate the prize among their Team. Failure to provide correct information on the Required Forms, or other correct information required for the delivery of a prize, may result in delayed prize delivery or forfeiture of a prize. ElevenLabs will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver prizes within 60 days of the receipt of the completed Required Forms.

5. Fees & Taxes: Each winner (and in the case of a Team, all participating members of such Team) shall be responsible for any fees associated with receiving or using a prize, including but not limited to, wiring fees or currency exchange fees. Each winner (and in the case of Team, all participating members of such Team) shall be responsible for reporting and paying all applicable taxes in their jurisdiction of residence (federal, state/provincial/territorial and local). Winners may be required to provide certain information to facilitate receipt of the award, including completing and submitting any tax or other forms necessary for compliance with applicable withholding and reporting requirements. United States residents may be required to provide a completed form W-9 and residents of other countries may be required to provide a completed W-8BEN form. Winners are also responsible for complying with foreign exchange and banking regulations in their respective jurisdictions and reporting the receipt of the prize to relevant government departments/agencies, if necessary.

For clarity, if a certain Promotion Entity happens to be the service provider of the AI Tool (or an affiliate with such service provider) that you have used to create the Submission, these Official Rules do not govern that relationship. 

2. By registering for the Competition, you (and your Team) agree to indemnify and hold the Released Parties harmless from any and all third-party claims, demands and losses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of or relating to: (A) your (or your Team’s) breach of any terms in these Official Rules, (B) any allegation that your (or your Team’s) Submission infringes, misappropriates or violates any intellectual property rights or other rights of any person; (C) your (or your Team’s) gross negligence, willful misconduct or violation of applicable law, (D) any misrepresentation made by you or your Team in connection with the Competition; (E) your (or your Team’s) acceptance, possession, misuse or use of any prize; or (F) your (or your Team’s) participation in any Competition-related activity or participation in this Competition.

Community Guidelines

1. Human creativity is the core component. AI should be used in a significant way in all Submissions, but it can just be one tool in the artist’s toolbox. We will not prescribe exactly how or how much AI content artists should use in their Submissions. 

2. Your Submission will be judged as a film, music video, or game, not as a piece of AI. As a participant in the Competition, your highest priority should be the fundamentals of storytelling, design, and art. We invite everyone at any point of the creative journey to learn these skills and aim to provide educational resources to help competitors grow in this aspect.

3. Your Submission will be judged on outputs, not inputs. We will provide trials of many AI Tools. We encourage creators to use whatever tools best fit your Submission or personal creative standards.

4. We prohibit the use of existing franchises and intellectual property, including brands, logos, characters, footage, cinematic universes and other proprietary content that you do not have permission to use for your intended purpose in connection with the Competition. We recognize that parody can be a significant avenue for creativity, but a generic re-hash of an existing franchise or intellectual property will negatively impact your originality score.

5. We prohibit the use of “deepfakes” or non-permitted likenesses. Permissions should be acquired for explicit visual likeness and voice likenesses. 

6. Usage (or non-usage) of AI Tools should be transparent and non-deceptive.

7. Clear authorship and credit should be given to all direct contributors on a Submission.

8. We accept films about mature subject matter, but require that they should be done tastefully and with artistic intent. We may lean on certain social media guidelines: for example, if it wouldn’t be able to be posted on YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram, it won’t be accepted in the Competition.

9. We have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination, racism, sexism, xenophobia, exploitation, bullying, disparagement, or promotions of violence towards any protected group.

10. Represent people and sensitive subject matter with authenticity and respect. Select AI characters with as much care as you would cast a group of human actors and be thoughtful about musical lyrics.
