The Competition

Built to push the craft of editing forward.

The CapCut Creators Cup was set up to encourage video editors to keep up the good work — the late nights, the obsessive frame trimming, the second-guessing of a transition. We celebrate the edit. We reward the storyteller. And every prize gives something back through our charity partners.

  • Open to editors worldwide, 16+
  • 60-second maximum edit, made in CapCut
  • Judged by pro editors and the community

Everything you'd want to ask.

Is entry free?

Yes. Entry to the CapCut Creators Cup is completely free. You only need a CapCut account and an original edit to submit.

How is the winner chosen?

A panel of CapCut editors and guest judges scores entries on creativity, technical skill, storytelling, and use of CapCut features. Community votes count toward 20% of the final score.

When is the prize paid?

Prizes are paid within 14 days of the winner announcement, after identity and originality checks are complete.

How are disputes handled?

Any dispute about scoring, eligibility, or originality is reviewed by an independent three-person panel. Their decision is final and is communicated within 7 days of the dispute being raised.
