By Run.team · June 22, 2026
The next big short-form series is about to be born, and for the first time, you decide what it’s about.
We are officially kicking off the Viddy Jam—a high-stakes creative competition powered by our brand-new video generation tool, Viddy GO. We’re putting $2,500 on the line for the creators who can turn a single prompt into a binge-worthy series. The best part? You don't need a film crew or an editing suite. You just need an idea.
Step 1: The Power is in Your Hands (Vote Now!)
Before the cameras "roll," the community must choose the arena. We have five themes on the ballot, but only one will become the official Jam theme.
The Contenders:
Monster Crush: Forbidden supernatural love (Vampires, Werewolves, Dragon Boys).
Portal Problems: Step through a door, ruin your life. Sci-fi/Fantasy adventure.
Secret Society: Elite clubs, underground games, and hidden rules.
Kiss or Kill: The one you want might be the one hunting you. Romance-thriller.
Choose the Villain: Don't trust the hero. The bad guy is the tempting one.
[Cast Your Vote Now] — Voting closes July 2nd at 12 PM PT.
Step 2: Meet Your Secret Weapon: Viddy GO
To enter the Jam, you’ll be using Viddy GO, our new AI studio for short-form shows. It’s designed to take the friction out of filmmaking:
Prompt to Pilot: Give it one line, and the "wizard" builds your show bible, cast, and locations.
Character Consistency: Your cast looks the same from scene to scene and episode to episode.
One-Tap Publishing: No downloading or re-uploading. Once your episode is "baked," you can publish it directly to Run.Tv with a single click.
Step 3: The Prize Pool ($2,500)
We’re rewarding the best storytellers in the community. The top five placements are decided by community vote, plus a special pick from our team.
(Note: Prize money is open to US residents only.)
