Is the quality actually good enough for paid social?

Yes. Every winning ad is judged against your brief and brand kit before payout. See real work in the Winning Gallery below.

What about IP and commercial rights?

Full commercial rights and IP ownership transfer to you on every winning ad — permanently, in perpetuity, including editing rights. Run them on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, or anywhere else. No extra agreements with creators needed; AdArena handles all rights on your behalf.

What if none of the submissions are strong?

With 100+ submissions per campaign, the top entries clear a high bar — the prize pool is the magnet, and bigger pools pull stronger creators. Our AI Ranking surfaces the best of the field, and every winner is judged against your brief before payout. You only ever own ads that earned it.

How is pricing structured?

Fixed-fee competition packages — your budget goes straight into the prize pool that pulls creators in. Bigger pool → stronger creators → better ads. Packages from $2K to $15K; any extra submission $150 flat. Full breakdown on the pricing page.

The Story

What is AdArena

A campaign — not a video order.

Every brief becomes a live arena: 1,000+ AI creators are alerted, 100+ ads compete for your prize pool, and every entry is posted publicly — so you earn organic reach before you own a single video. Bigger pool → stronger creators → better ads. That's a flywheel no agency can run.

Every campaign alerts the entire network — Guild Masters push to communities in real time. Cinematic, UGC, meme, testimonial, native, more.
