Higgsfield's $1M Film Festival Closes Submissions

Higgsfield AI says its million-dollar global film festival drew more than 67,000 entries from 176 countries before closing submissions, with judging now underway.

Higgsfield AI has closed the submission window for its Higgsfield Global Film Festival, a competition offering a $1,000,000 prize pool for AI-generated filmmaking. According to the company, the contest pulled in 67,223 entries from creators across 176 countries before the deadline passed. The scale of the response suggests the festival tapped into a fast-growing global community of AI video creators eager for high-profile recognition and a substantial cash incentive. With entries now locked in, Higgsfield says it is moving into the judging phase of the competition. The company has not yet detailed how submissions will be evaluated or who is doing the judging, but it confirmed that a shortlist of finalists is expected soon. That shortlist will presumably narrow the tens of thousands of entries down to a smaller pool competing for the top prize. Higgsfield shared the update in a post on X, where it has been tracking the festival's progress. No timeline was given for when winners will be announced.
