Three Major Competition Categories

AIGC Feature Film Unit
AI-Driven Long-Form Narrative: This unit is the core of the AIGC track, recognizing works that deeply integrate AI technology into long-form storytelling and achieve breakthroughs in audiovisual language and world-building. We encourage creators to transcend traditional production workflows and explore new possibilities for AI in complex narratives, spectacular presentation, and emotional expression.
- Video duration must be at least 60 minutes.
- The work must have a complete long-form narrative structure.
- AIGC plays a central role in image generation, post-production visual effects, and sound design.

AIGC Short Film Unit
The ultimate avant-garde audiovisual experiment: Short films are the testing ground for cinematic language innovation. This section encourages creators to achieve precise expression within a limited runtime using highly condensed AI-driven audiovisual language, exploring non-linear storytelling, surreal visuals, or immersive aesthetics. This is the most free and experimental arena for AIGC expression.
- No limit on video duration
- Entries must demonstrate a unique artistic perspective and exceptional technical execution, avoiding mere technical accumulation while emphasizing the core conceptual message behind the imagery.

AIGC Short Drama Unit
Discover New Narrative Paradigms for the Streaming Era: Aligned with global streaming trends and fragmented reading habits, this unit explores AI's potential in serialized storytelling. We seek series that maintain high information density, strong dramatic tension, and coherent world-building within extremely short episodes—setting industry benchmarks for the commercialization and mass adoption of AIGC film and television.
- Single episode duration must be at least 1 minutes, and total episodes must be at least 8.
- The work must demonstrate mature script logic and potential for series development.
