01 About the Challenge

A live, on-site prompt-engineering and AI-storytelling contest. Each participant receives a real-world brief under the summit theme and produces a short AI-generated video during the session. The challenge rewards imagination, prompt skill, entrepreneurial insight, and responsible AI use — not access to expensive tools. The exact brief is revealed only at the start of the session.

02 Eligibility & Registration

• Open to School, College and University students. A valid Student ID is mandatory at check-in.
• Solo (individual) entries only. Prior registration is required.

03 Format & Timeline

60 minutes, on-site. All work must be produced live during this window — content prepared before the event is not allowed.

Time	Activity
1:30 PM	Challenge brief revealed; rules and tool recap
1:30 – 2:15 PM	Prompting, AI generation, and light assembly of clips
2:15 – 2:25 PM	Final export and submission of video + evidence document
2:25 – 2:30 PM	Submission lock; spot-checks

04 Output Specification

• Final video length: 30 seconds.
• Format: MP4, aspect ratio 16:9.
• Because most free tools cap a single generation at around 8 seconds, the final video may be assembled from several short clips.
• Manual editing is limited to trimming, stitching clips, and adding captions. Significant modification (heavy VFX, redrawing, compositing) is not permitted.

05 Approved AI Tools — Free Use Only

This is a semi-open list. You may use the recommended free tools below or any other AI video tool, as long as you use it entirely free of charge. The only hard rule is Section 06.

▪ Google Flow (Veo 3.1)	▪ Kling AI
▪ Hailuo AI (MiniMax)	▪ Seedance
▪ Vidu	▪ Pika
▪ Luma Dream Machine	▪ or any other genuinely free tool

For light assembly (trim / stitch / captions), CapCut Free or any free trimmer is acceptable.

06 The One Hard Rule — No Money Spent

THE ONE HARD RULE

You must not spend any money and must not use paid or purchased credits of any tool. The test is monetary, not the tier name: free student offers and free daily credits are fine; paid subscriptions, purchased credit packs, and paid API generation are prohibited.

Also prohibited:

• Any paid / purchased tier or credits (paid Google AI plans, paid Kling, paid Runway, paid API generation).
• Content generated before the event.
• Prompts or clips not authored by the participant.
• Offensive, harmful, hateful, or plagiarised content.

07 Submissions & Evidence

Each participant must submit two items:

• Final Video — a 30-second video in MP4 format, 16:9 aspect ratio. Rename with your name and ID.
• Evidence Document — (Rename with your name and ID) a single document (use the Appendix A sheet) containing:
  • A full screenshot taken at the start of work, showing the AI tool open and the credit balance, with the system date and time visible in the taskbar.
  • A full screenshot taken at the end — the same view (tool, remaining credit, taskbar date/time).
  • The main prompts used.

Organizers may also conduct live spot-checks and may ask to view your account's generation history.

08 Disqualification

Spending money on a tool, using pre-generated content, or submitting a false declaration result in immediate disqualification. This applies at any time — including after an award has been announced or received — if evidence emerges. The organizers' decision is final.

09 Judging Criteria (100 Marks)

Criterion	Marks
Prompt craft & engineering (specificity, iteration, control)	25
Storytelling & clarity of message	50
Originality & creativity	25
Total	100

10 What to Bring

• Own laptop and charger.
• A free-tier account already created on at least one approved tool (set up before you arrive).
• Headphones and a valid Student ID.

11 Code of Conduct & Content Standards

• Respectful conduct; no interference with other participants.
• Content must be safe, lawful, non-defamatory, and free of offensive or harmful material.
• Honest disclosure of all tools and prompts, in the spirit of responsible AI use.

12 Amendments & Organizer Discretion

PLEASE NOTE

This guideline may be changed or modified on a situational basis by the organisers. By participating, you acknowledge and accept any such situational modification and agree that no claim or blame will be directed at the organisers on account of it.
