Week 02 · FAQ

Before you open the door.

The essentials, answered.

Getting started

Is it free to enter?

Yes. Entry is free, and no purchase is required to receive a prize. Optional creation support is reviewed separately and is not automatically granted on registration.

Who can enter?

Creators aged 18 or older, solo or in a team of up to four. Each person may belong to only one entry per week. Each entry submits one film through one registered representative account.

How do teams enter?

Choose one representative account for the entry. A team may include up to four people, including the representative. Monthly points belong to the registered individual representative. Do not share account passwords.

Can I return or win again next week?

Yes. You may enter and win in consecutive weeks. Create a new film for each week’s brief.

What is this week’s theme?

Week 02 is Horror, with the brief The Knock: a knock at the door in the dead of night, and your character must decide whether to open it. Read the full brief.

Creating your film

What format should my film be?

Vertical 9:16, 25-35 seconds including the opening and ending. Aim for 30 seconds.

Which tools should I use?

Generate with Seedance 2.0 Fast in Wandura Cinema Studio, then assemble, edit and export in Wandura AI Edits.

Does my film need a watermark?

Yes. Keep the official Made with Wandura.ai mark visible throughout the final TikTok video, uncropped and uncovered, in an approved position inside the safe zone for 9:16. Check the watermark on your Wandura AI Edits export before posting. See the watermark guide

Can I use real people or voices?

For this pilot, use fictional characters and AI voices. Do not use photographs of real people or clone a real person’s voice. Photorealistic fictional characters are allowed. Use only assets you own or have permission to use.

Creation support and credits

How do I receive creation credits?

Submit your idea before the Week 02 idea deadline (7 November, 23:59 UTC). Approved ideas may receive up to 1,000 creation credits per entry, per week for images and video. Registering alone does not grant credits. Support credits pay for images, Edits and video made with Seedance 2.0 Fast at 720p. Other models and resolutions use your own credits.

Can I enter using my own credits?

Yes. Self-funded entries have the same eligibility, scoring and prize opportunities as entries receiving support.

What if I run out of credits?

Additional credits are not automatically granted. You may choose to use your own credits or purchase more. Receiving a prize does not require a purchase.

Do I get any credits back?

If your film is approved, we return 50% of the credits you bought and used to make that film, as credits, within 24 hours of the approval. Support credits and prize credits are not refundable.

When do support credits expire?

Any expiry for creation support is confirmed with the grant. Prize credits and Growth replacement credits have a separate 45-day expiry after each grant.

Posting and submitting

What do I submit?

Submit both your public TikTok URL and Wandura AI project URL through the challenge workspace, using your registered representative account. Open the workspace.

What should my TikTok post include?

Enable the AI content label, keep the official watermark visible throughout, and include #Wandura #WanduraWeekly #WanduraHorror #AIFilm. The post must be public and stay public until prizes are awarded.

Can I update my film or links?

Yes, before the film deadline. Updates replace the existing entry and require another review. The TikTok film must match your Wandura AI export.

Does posting in Discord or Facebook count as entering?

No. Enter through the challenge workspace and submit both required links. A social post or community message alone is not an official submission.

What are the Week 02 deadlines?

For Week 02, all deadlines are 23:59:59 UTC in 2026:

  • Ideas: 7 November.
  • Films: 10 November.
  • Viral metrics lock: 16 November.

Scoring and prizes

How are weekly winners chosen?

The three eligible films with the highest verified TikTok Viral Scores win. Viral Score = Views + 10 × Likes + 50 × Shares. Comments do not add points. Only your submitted TikTok video counts, using metrics locked at the official cutoff.

What happens if scores tie?

Compare shares, then views, then likes. If all metrics remain equal, the complete, valid film submission received by the system earlier ranks higher.

What are the weekly prizes?

The combined weekly bonus prize pool is 23,000 credits across 3 winners:

  • First: 1 month Growth + 10,000 bonus credits + 100 monthly points.
  • Second: 1 month Growth + 8,000 bonus credits + 80 monthly points.
  • Third: 1 month Growth + 5,000 bonus credits + 50 monthly points.
Other valid entries earn 10 monthly points. Top 3 totals already include participation points. Full prize details.

What if I already have Growth?

An active paid or gifted Growth subscription receives 5,000 credits instead of the prize’s Growth month, plus your place’s bonus credits.

When do prize credits expire?

Prize credits and Growth replacement credits expire 45 days after each grant. Each grant has its own expiry; winning again does not extend an earlier grant.

How does the $300 Monthly Award work?

The registered individual representative with the highest monthly points total wins $300 cash. Points reset each month and cannot be transferred. A week counts toward the month of its film deadline in UTC. If monthly totals tie, compare each representative’s highest eligible film Viral Score from that month, using its locked weekly metrics, then apply the weekly tiebreak sequence.

When will results be announced?

Results are announced on 17 November, after eligibility and the locked metrics have been verified. All official times are UTC.

Ownership and help

Do I keep ownership of my film?

Yes. You keep ownership. What you give Wandura AI is a limited usage licence, set out in the next answer. Music available on TikTok is not automatically cleared for Wandura AI’s repost channels.

What rights do I give Wandura AI when I submit?

By submitting your film you give a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to Wandura AI, which Wandura AI may sublicense to its affiliated apps, for 24 months to show, publish, copy and share it, and short clips and stills from it, on Wandura AI’s websites, apps and social accounts, to promote the challenge and Wandura AI, with credit to your display name. Paid advertising needs your separate permission. You can ask us at any time to stop using your film in new material; we remove it from channels we control within 7 days. The full text is rule 13.
