To support this project, TikTok is offering approximately $10,700 to the winner, with $5,350 each going to the best director and script. This marks the first time US creators have had the chance to participate in this competition, opening doors for countless talented individuals to challenge their creativity.

Several past winners have seen their dreams take flight in the film industry, proving that these events are invaluable launching pads for budding talent. Moreover, it’s a win-win situation for TikTok, as it boosts the app’s popularity and empowers content creators by providing them with a larger platform to showcase their skills.

“From February 21st to March 15th, 2024, we invite creators to take part in the competition by submitting their original 1min+ videos in TikTok’s signature vertical format using the hashtags #TikTokShortFilm and #TikTokShortFilmCompetition. Winners across three categories, Grand Gagnant, Best Script, and Best Directing, will be selected by a highly acclaimed panel of judges and will be invited by TikTok to present their work and receive their prizes during the #TikTokShortFilm ceremony that will take place in Cannes (France), at the time of the 77th edition of the Festival de Cannes.” – TikTok Representative
