Why enter

No crew, no hide, no plane ticket

This is EveryFrame's first competition, and it's open to everyone, from seasoned documentary makers to people who have never made a film. If you can tell a story, EveryFrame puts a golden eagle over the mountains, a humpback breaching at sunset or a lioness and her cubs on screen in minutes.

The prize

One winner takes it all

$5,000
Total prize value · one winner
$1,500in SN117 alpha
Paid on-chain from the EveryFrame treasury wallet to the winner's Bittensor wallet.
$3,500in SN117 Gamma
3,500 Γ, paid on-chain from the treasury wallet. Spend it on EveryFrame for studio credits or API balance, or let your AI agents use it to call our services.

The alpha is valued in US dollars on , the day the prize is paid, and the number of tokens is fixed on that day. Token prices go up and down, so their dollar value may be higher or lower by the time you receive or sell them. Gamma is fixed at $1 per Γ, so its value doesn't move. Every payment is made on-chain from the EveryFrame treasury wallet (), so anyone can verify it. You'll need a Bittensor wallet to receive both. Gamma can only be spent on EveryFrame and can't be sold, transferred or exchanged for cash.

The brief and the rules

Tell us a wildlife story in two minutes

  • Subject: any wildlife, anywhere. A single animal's day, a migration, a predator and its prey, life in a rock pool. The more original the story, the better.
  • Length: about two minutes, and no more than 2:30.
  • Narration: required. Your own voice, a voice actor or an AI voice all count, as long as you have the right to use it.
  • Made on EveryFrame: the footage must be generated with EveryFrame. Edit, colour and add music and sound in any software you like.
  • Story first: the strongest films have a beginning, a middle and an end, a narrator who makes us care, and a moment that makes us gasp.
Tips for a winning film
  • Pick one hero animal and follow it, rather than a slideshow of many.
  • Write the narration first, then generate shots to fit the words.
  • Mix wide shots for scale with macro close-ups for wonder.
  • Use music that's licensed for your use, or royalty-free.
  • One entry per person. Choose your best film. Multiple entries, or entries from duplicate or alternate accounts, will be disqualified.
  • Post on X, then submit here. Only films submitted on this portal before entries close are eligible.
  • Your own work. The film must be original and made for this competition. You must own or have permission to use everything in it, including narration, music and sound.
  • Made with EveryFrame. The footage must be generated on EveryFrame.
  • Keep it clean. No hateful, violent, sexual or misleading content, no real people's likenesses without consent, and no third-party brands or logos.
  • Reviewed before it's public. We check every entry against these rules before it appears on the portal.
  • Fair voting. One vote per account, and only accounts created before 13 November 2026 can vote. Entrants can vote too, including for their own film. Fake accounts, bots, paid votes or vote swapping lead to disqualification.
  • Eligibility. To qualify, share your film in a public post on X that quotes our announcement post, and submit the link to that post with your entry.
  • Showcase rights. By entering, you let EveryFrame share your film, credited to you, to promote the competition and the platform. You keep ownership of your work.
