CRE[AI]TE is CapCut’s first AI Festival, a global stage built to award the imagination this medium makes possible.
It honors the idea, point of view, craft, and taste that bring each work to life.
Submit across Film, Series, Creative, and Commercial. Selected works are reviewed by an international jury and featured across CapCut’s official channels.
CapCut CRE[AI]TE will recognize 30 works in total: 10 Cash Award winners and 20 Spotlight Selections. All selected creators or teams will receive 50,000 credits and 1 year of CapCut Pro. Each creator or team may receive only one recognition. If a work qualifies for both a Cash Award and a Spotlight Selection, the Cash Award will take priority. Spotlight Selections are non-cash honors for standout works across all categories, recognizing original vision, strong craft, and meaningful use of AI.
