Welcome to the vibrant, multiverse-esque universe of the

Creator X Annual Online Film Awards,

where we champion the spirit of innovation

and the art of visual storytelling!

Our digital festival is a

beacon for filmmakers and interactive media artists

who dare to dream, disrupt, and dazzinate.

Aimed at a Gen-Z audience and beyond, we’re not just any contest; we're a movement. Here, creativity knows no bounds,

and every pixel can tell a powerful story.

We celebrate the brave, the bold, and the brilliant.
