    Creative criteria

    🎣
    #1

    Hook (first 3 seconds)

    If the viewer drops in 3 seconds — we lost them. The opening is everything.

    💡
    #2

    Concept

    An original, sharp idea with an angle we haven't seen.

    🎬
    #3

    Storytelling & Pacing

    A clear arc — buildup, surprise, or a punch.

    🎯
    #4

    Brief alignment

    Understanding the brand voice, the core message, and the CTA we asked for.

    ✂️
    #5

    Editing & post-production

    Rhythm, tight cuts, music, sound design.

    🎨
    #6

    Visual quality

    Lighting, composition, sharpness, overall aesthetic.

    📝
    #7

    Captions

    Clear, synced, readable even on mute.

    Red Flags — for next time

    Wrong aspect ratio — We asked for 9:16 (vertical) and got 16:9 (landscape). Great videos were disqualified just for this.

    AI tool watermarks — Veo, Runway, Pika, etc. — remove the watermark. It hurts professional credibility.

    No captions — 85% of Reels viewers scroll on mute. Without captions, the message is lost.

    Visual issues — Too dark, digital noise, blur, distorted objects, broken faces.

    Unprofessional editing — Hard cuts, unsynced audio, cheap transitions, mismatched music.

    Ignoring the brief — Ignoring the message, the audience, or the brand's tone of voice.

    Every submission was carefully reviewed. Even if you didn't win — you earned XP, added to your portfolio, and learned what to refine.
