Human creation
The festival’s vision
Two complementary tracks
Purposeful imagery has become one of the most influential media for shaping awareness, promoting values and serving humanity.
To keep pace with the major changes in creativity, media and technology, and to open the way to every kind of experience and expression, the festival board created two complementary tracks. They combine the modernity of the means with the authenticity of the vision.
The aim is neither to champion one medium over another nor to set technology against human creation: the noble awareness idea remains the essence of the work, the source of its value and the basis of its distinction.
The idea before the tool
In both tracks, the essence of the evaluation remains the value of the awareness idea and the loftiness of the human and social message.
Technology as a means
Whether cutting-edge or simple, the tool serves people and society: it is never an end in itself.
A refined and fair competition
A climate that values creativity in all its forms and gives serious works their chance: video as a tool for education, influence, inspiration and individual and collective awareness.
Who are the competitions for? Creators, content makers, young filmmakers and everyone interested in awareness video, in Tunisia and abroad.
The two tracks
The two competitions side by side
Same rules, same standards, same place for the idea: what changes is how it reaches the screen.
01
Artificial intelligence
Awareness Video through Artificial Intelligence
Innovative Awareness… When Technology Serves the Human Message
- What it welcomes
- Awareness works made with the help of artificial intelligence: writing, visual design, animation, image or sound generation, or any other modern creative tool.
- The framework
- The tools used are declared, with how they served the writing, images, sound or video. Any work containing AI-generated scenes or voices belongs to this track. art. 7
- What it encourages
- A conscious and responsible use of AI, young people in particular, giving purposeful messages greater reach, impact and power to persuade.
- What the jury looks at
- The festival board emphasizes that the use of artificial intelligence is not in itself a criterion of excellence; the value of the awareness idea, the strength of the message and the depth of its human and societal impact remain the true basis for evaluating the participating works.
02
Human creation
Awareness Video through Human Creation
Authentic Awareness… When Creation Speaks with the Human Voice
- What it welcomes
- Awareness works born of direct human creation: the author’s imagination, artistic and intellectual sensibility and own expressive skills.
- The framework
- No generative AI tools for writing the content, crafting the scenes or generating sounds, images and visual elements. Idea, filming, performance and direction remain human; simple tools (colour correction, sound cleaning) are allowed and the filming device is declared. art. 6
- What it encourages
- The sincerity of the experience, the nobility of the intent and the value of pure human expression, addressing human and social issues with depth and responsibility.
- What the jury looks at
- The jury relies essentially on the originality of the awareness idea, the clarity of the message and the video’s capacity to influence and persuade, regardless of the technical resources used.

Spirit of evaluation
The supreme criterion
Whatever the track, the awareness idea remains the most important element and the foundation of how works are evaluated.
- 01The strength and depth of the idea
- 02The clarity of the awareness message
- 03The human or societal value of the subject
- 04The originality of the treatment and its capacity to make an impact
- 05The quality of persuasion and of raising awareness
With AI Using artificial intelligence is not, in itself, a criterion of excellence or distinction.
Through human creation The technical means, however modern or simple, is not in itself the criterion of excellence: the purposeful message remains the soul of the work, its primary foundation and its true measure.
The criteria for each competition are announced in advance, with no unannounced weightings; a jury member does not assess a work involving a conflict of interest. art. 17
