CONTEST RULES | Click here for the official contest rules


You must be at least 18 years of age to enter.  

After you’ve downloaded the contest material (video, music, and sound effects), you will turn these raw materials into a persuasive short film that runs between one and two minutes. You can only use the audio and video we provide – even if you locate the same material from other sources. 

You may, however, use one or more narrators.  Narrator(s) must be people you know or hire – not taken from other copyrighted work.

You must email a music cue sheet to submissions@tyrotv.com before the entry deadline in order for your entry to be eligible.  You can download that form here. 

You may use any editing tricks and cool video effects you come up with as long as they don’t involve actors, additional video, additional music, or additional sound effects. 

We will judge your entry in three, equally-weighted categories: originality (creative use of audio and video), relevance (transforming old video into something that seems fresh), and persuasiveness (effectively taking a stand on the issue).  You can enter up to five different short films as long as their titles are different and you pay a separate entry fee for each. 


The winner will be awarded $500 dollars in prize money. 

The licensing agreement establishes you as the owner of your creation and grants Tyro TV and its parent company, Mercury Productions LLC, the exclusive right to represent and sell the short film.  You will receive 75% of the revenue after costs have been subtracted. 

Please read the official rules before submitting your entry
