Introducing the Wandura Weekly Challenge: One Week, One Film

Short answer: The Wandura Weekly Challenge is a weekly AI film contest. Each week has one theme; creators make a 25 to 35 second vertical film on Wandura, post it publicly on TikTok and submit the link. The three confirmed films with the highest Viral Score win that week, sharing up to 23,000 bonus credits plus a month of Growth each. Entry is free. Week 01 (26 October to 2 November 2026) was an Action Showdown called The Last Stand, and Week 02 (3 to 10 November 2026) is a Horror week called The Knock.

Full rules and entry details are on the Wandura Weekly Challenge page, which is the official source if anything below changes.

What the Weekly Challenge is

The Weekly Challenge is built around a simple loop: one theme, one week, one film. Every week brings a new brief. You make a short film for it with Wandura's tools, share it where people already watch short video, and the audience response decides the podium.

It is open to solo creators and small teams, and you can come back with a new film every week. Consecutive wins are allowed.

Week 01: The Last Stand (26 Oct to 2 Nov 2026)

The first theme was an Action Showdown. The brief: create an action film about a character's last stand. Show what is at stake, the clash, and what changes.

• The stakes: what could your character lose?
• The clash: keep the confrontation readable and the characters consistent.
• The consequence: finish with a reversal, escape, rescue or sacrifice.

The Week 01 brief stays on The Last Stand brief page. For a step-by-step guide to the format, read how to make a 30-second AI action film.

Week 02: The Knock (3 to 10 Nov 2026)

Week 02 is a Horror week with the theme The Knock: "Three knocks. No one should be there." The brief: create a horror film about a knock at the door in the dead of night. Make the viewer feel the silence, the knock and the choice.

• The silence: make us feel that something is wrong before the first knock.
• The knock: what is waiting on the other side?
• The choice: open it, or don't, and let the ending haunt us.

The brief asks for original characters, atmosphere over gore and a choice that haunts. The theme hashtag is #WanduraHorror, used with #Wandura #WanduraWeekly #AIFilm. The brief and the idea form are on The Knock page. For a step-by-step guide to the format, read how to make a 30-second AI horror film.

What your film needs

• Length and format: 25 to 35 seconds (target 30, including opening and end card), vertical 9:16.
• Made on Wandura: generated with Seedance 2.0 Fast in Cinema Studio at native 720p, up to 15 seconds per generation, then edited and exported in Wandura AI Edits with the official Made with Wandura.ai watermark visible throughout.
• Characters and voices: fictional characters and AI voices only. No real-person images or cloned real voices in this pilot.
• Rights: use only media you have the rights to share.

How to take part

Join, create, post, submit.

1. Join: register for the week with one representative account. Apply with your idea if you want creation support.
2. Create: make your film with Seedance 2.0 Fast and finish it in Wandura AI Edits with the official watermark.
3. Post: publish it publicly on TikTok with TikTok's AI label and the hashtags #Wandura #WanduraWeekly #AIFilm.
4. Submit: send your TikTok link from the registered account for review.

Who can enter: creators aged 18+, solo or in a team of up to 4, with one representative account and one entry per week. Each person may join only one entry per week.

Creation support: you can apply with your idea for up to 1,000 credits, once per creator or team per week. Approval is required; registration alone grants nothing. Using your own credits gives you the same chance at the prizes.

Prizes

The Week 01 gold trophy.

Each week, the Top 3 share up to 23,000 bonus credits, and each of them also gets 1 month of Growth:

• Entry is free, and no purchase is required to receive a prize.
• Winners who already have an active Growth plan receive 5,000 credits instead of the gifted month, plus their rank's bonus credits.
• Prize and replacement credits last 45 days from each grant.
• Gifted Growth does not automatically charge you when it ends.
• Winning films are featured on Wandura's TikTok and website with creator credit.

How winners are picked

Viral Score = views + 10 × likes + 50 × shares.

The weekly Top 3 are the three confirmed films with the highest Viral Score:

• 1 view = 1 point, 1 like = 10 points, 1 share = 50 points, comments = 0 points.
• Example from the challenge page: 20,000 views + 1,000 likes + 200 shares = 40,000 points.
• Only the TikTok post you submit and Wandura confirms counts. Bought, bot and fake engagement is removed, and every entry is reviewed.
• If scores tie, more shares ranks first, then more views, then the earlier submission.
