Footage and musicUse only the supplied footage and audio. You can add your own titles, graphics and sound effects.
AI toolsAI tools are fine for clean-up: noise reduction, transcription, upscaling and masking. AI-generated shots, voices or automatic editing are not allowed.
EntriesOne entry per editor. You can replace it until submissions close.
JudgingAt least 6 blind ratings per entry on creativity, pacing, storytelling, effects, overall quality. Raters must watch at least 80% first and cannot see your name or other scores.
ScoringScores are adjusted for each rater’s habits and weighted by how many ratings an edit has, so a single 5-star rating can’t top the board.
ResultsResults lock on Thu 22 Oct. Scores stay hidden until then.
RightsDune Road Pictures keeps the rights to the footage, which is licensed for this challenge only. You keep the rights to your edit and can show it in your portfolio.
