Our Fair Selection Process

All valid video submissions will be uploaded to our official YouTube channel. We evaluate candidates based on two equally important pillars: Audience Views and Internal Skills Evaluation.

Why do we consider both?

We recognize that extroverted participants or those with large social networks can easily gain massive YouTube views by sharing links with friends and relatives. To ensure a completely level playing field, our expert panel's internal evaluation of your raw skills carries significant weight. This guarantees that introverts and incredibly talented individuals with smaller networks never lose out on this opportunity!

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers to help you prepare your submission.

How does Team Participation work?

If you are participating as a full production team, only the Director needs to upload their details and submit the video link. We will consider it as a single team entry.

Do all actors in a single video need to apply separately?

No. If there are multiple actors in your video, only one person needs to upload the link. There is no need for every single person in the video to submit the form individually.

Can Actresses wear makeup or use video filters?

Yes, you are absolutely allowed (and encouraged) to wear makeup! A good sense of makeup is a major requirement for an actress. However, we strongly prohibit the use of digital video/camera filters. We want to evaluate your raw, natural on-screen presence.

Are Editors allowed to use stock images and videos?

Yes, editors can use external stock images and stock video footage to demonstrate their editing skills, but ONLY if they are completely copyright-free (royalty-free). Any copyrighted stock material will result in immediate disqualification.

What are the submission rules for Writers?

Writers can upload their original scripts, screenplays, or dialogues. Please make sure that your submitted script document is not more than 2 pages in length.
