The next big short-form series is about to be born, and for the first time, **you decide what it’s about.**

We are officially kicking off the **Viddy Jam**—a high-stakes creative competition powered by our brand-new video generation tool, **Viddy GO**. We’re putting **$2,500** on the line for the creators who can turn a single prompt into a binge-worthy series. The best part? You don't need a film crew or an editing suite. You just need an idea.

### **Step 1: The Power is in Your Hands (Vote Now!)**

Before the cameras "roll," the community must choose the arena. We have five themes on the ballot, but only one will become the official Jam theme.

**The Contenders:**

- **Monster Crush:** Forbidden supernatural love (Vampires, Werewolves, Dragon Boys).

- **Portal Problems:** Step through a door, ruin your life. Sci-fi/Fantasy adventure.

- **Secret Society:** Elite clubs, underground games, and hidden rules.

- **Kiss or Kill:** The one you want might be the one hunting you. Romance-thriller.

- **Choose the Villain:** Don't trust the hero. The bad guy is the tempting one.

**\[[Cast Your Vote Now](https://events.run.world/events/viddy-jam/)\]** — *Voting closes July 2nd at 12 PM PT.*

### **Step 2: Meet Your Secret Weapon: Viddy GO**

To enter the Jam, you’ll be using **Viddy GO**, our new AI studio for short-form shows. It’s designed to take the friction out of filmmaking:

- **Prompt to Pilot:** Give it one line, and the "wizard" builds your show bible, cast, and locations.

- **Character Consistency:** Your cast looks the same from scene to scene and episode to episode.

- **One-Tap Publishing:** No downloading or re-uploading. Once your episode is "baked," you can publish it directly to [**Run.Tv**](http://Run.Tv) with a single click.

### **Step 3: The Prize Pool ($2,500)**

We’re rewarding the best storytellers in the community. The top five placements are decided by community vote, plus a special pick from our team.

- **1st Place:** $1,000

- **2nd Place:** $600

- **3rd Place:** $400

- **4th & 5th Place:** $100 each

- **Editor’s Pick:** $300

*(Note: Prize money is open to US residents only.)*

### **Step 4: The Jam Schedule**

Mark your calendars. This is a sprint, not a marathon.

- **Now – July 2:** **Theme Vote.** Head to the site and pick your favorite.

- **July 2:** **Theme Reveal.** The winner is announced. Start plotting your story.

- **July 10 – July 21:** **Making Window.** You have 11 days to create and publish a series of at least **3 episodes** using Viddy GO.

- **July 21 (12 PM PT):** **Submissions Close.** Every series published on the theme is automatically entered.

- **July 22:** **Winners Announced.** Live on the RUN channel.

### **How to Enter**

It’s simple: **Make it. Publish it. Win.**

1. **Open Viddy GO** (it runs right in your browser).

2. **Create a series** of at least 3 episodes (each \~60 seconds) based on the winning theme.

3. **One-tap publish** to [Run.Tv](http://Run.Tv) before the deadline.
