No matter what they do with the ideas, there's a pricepool, you like it or not and decide what you do with that. Nobody asked you to produce a video at all nor is that solely directed towards only you. So why not shut up and let people do. Obviously most of the videos listed haven't met the rules at all. Most- if not all- have a not professiional look to it. I myself still am unsure what's the exact goal here to be submitted, but honestly a bit creativity and thinking out of the box as well as an analyses of their branded content makes this a fun project. I think about it as a gate opener of another kind. Create a spec ad (that's an ad for a brand that doesn't asked for it, but you as a filmmaker want to attract similar brands). Don't see this kind of contest as something bad, I mean seriously, you could pull this of by even ask a gpt to create an Animation only on how to grow Broccoli only... and you would still win something, as what i saw so far barely matched any criteria.so near no competition at all. Not even the need to have those fancy video skills you talked about. Sadly... As you see, the "value" you source from this isn't that price only, but the opportunities you get out of it.
