02 / ELIGIBILITY AND SUBMISSION
How to enter the AI9app AI drama competition
Sign in with a verified AI9 account.
Entry is free. Participants under 18 need consent from a parent or legal guardian.
Join either the WhatsApp or LINE group.
Use the official competition page to join one AI9app short drama or video group, then enter the WhatsApp number or LINE ID you used to join. This applies to entrants and voters.
Upload your video and give it a title.
Submit an MP4, MOV or WebM file, up to 500 MB and between 45 seconds and 5 minutes long. A description is optional. Each person can have one active entry and can withdraw and replace it while submissions are open.
Wait for review and group confirmation.
AI9 reviews the work and an administrator confirms group membership before the entry goes public. Upload early so you have time to resolve any file issues.
Use original work or material you have permission to include. Check the rights for music, footage, voices and characters, and get consent from any identifiable real people in the video. You retain the rights you hold in your work and grant the organiser a licence to display and promote it under the contest terms. Open the full terms on the official competition page before submitting.

03 / A 60-SECOND EXAMPLE
Making your first AI short? Start with three beats
Try an original story called The Last Train: a passenger receives a voice note from their future self and must decide whether to follow it before the train leaves. Keep the action in one location and finish a rough cut before adding shots.
- 0–10 seconds | Set up the question: On an empty platform, a phone plays a message in the passenger’s own voice.
- 10–45 seconds | Force a choice: The message says to stay off the train just as it arrives. Use the door chime, a close-up of the passenger’s hand and a countdown to build pressure.
- 45–60 seconds | Show the consequence: The passenger steps back and sees their reflection still inside the carriage. Hold long enough for the audience to register the twist.
Use whichever tools you know. To work in AI9app, try AI Short Drama for character and scene planning, then the Video Editor for assembly, captions and audio levels. Watch the exported file on a phone to check the sound and captions, then verify its runtime and file size.
04 / SHARE YOUR ENTRY
How do votes count, and how can you share your video?
Once voting opens, share the dedicated link for your approved entry. Eligible accounts can vote once per entry and support multiple different entries, but cannot vote for their own work. Votes are provisional until the organiser checks group membership. Votes from unconfirmed members are cancelled. Buying or trading votes, or offering gifts in exchange for them, is prohibited.
Give people a reason to watch, then include your link and the voting deadline. For example: “Would you follow a voice note from your future self? Watch The Last Train and vote by 23:59 on 29 November (GMT+8).”
