XTRND’s AI Contest is an open call for creators across the Middle East who think like directors, not just AI tool users. Anyone can write a prompt. We want the person who knows what to do with it.

Pick any global brand. Make them a short AI film, like a real ad. 30 seconds. That’s it.

Pick one category:

Sell the brand. Tell a story. Make it feel real. Max 30 seconds.

3 things matter:

• The hook: does it grab you in the first 3 seconds?
• Ultra-realism: does it look and feel like a real production?
• The creative direction: did you make a bold choice? Make it bolder.

1. Your video (obviously): in 4K resolution, hosted on any platform (YouTube, Vimeo, Drive). Vertical or horizontal, your call!

We’re not just collecting videos. We’re looking for creative minds.

The winner receives $3,000.

Plus, your work goes directly into XTRND’s next client campaign. And the person behind it? We want to work with you, remotely, from wherever you are in the region.

This isn’t just a contest. It’s an audition.
