NEW THIS YEAR: Cash Prizes That Grow With the Community
From every team’s registration, $50 goes directly into a shared cash prize pool. The Top 3 teams will take home a share — meaning the more teams that sign up, the bigger the prize pool gets.

New Year. New Pressure.
Expect bigger, stranger, and more challenging creative restrictions designed to spark originality and force bold choices.

Open, Inclusive, & International
This challenge is open worldwide to teams of any size and any age — with one important rule: At least one person on your team (cast or crew) must be a youth under 40.
