Chroma Awards 2025: A Celebration of AI-Driven Creativity

ElevenLabs, a leading company in AI audio research and product development headquartered in New York, is proud to announce the launch of the Chroma Awards, a competition dedicated to showcasing works in the realms of film, music videos, and gaming. Starting today, creators can submit their projects until November 3, 2025, 11:45 PM PT. This event aims to highlight the incredible opportunities for creators around the world, particularly in regions with rich content and creativity like Japan.

What Are the Chroma Awards?

The Chroma Awards was created to provide a platform for emerging artists and creators, offering strong support and opportunities to present exceptional works to the world. ElevenLabs envisions a future where AI enhances human creativity, and this award serves to demonstrate that future. Sponsored by prominent names like Google Cloud, Freepik, fal, Dreamina AI, and CapCut, the Chroma Awards promises an exciting opportunity for both aspiring and established creators.

Categories and Submission Rules

The Chroma Awards will accept submissions in three main categories: Film, Music Videos, and Games. Each category has its own set of rules, criteria, and rewards. While a single project can only be submitted in one category, there are no restrictions on the number of projects a participant can enter. Therefore, multiple submissions within the same category are welcome, presenting a unique opportunity for participants to showcase diverse talents.

Important Rules

The submission deadline is set for November 3, 2025, at 11:45 PM PT. Entries will undergo judging across three rounds, with winners announced during a live broadcast on December 7, 2025. All projects created after February 1, 2025, are eligible for submission. Judging will be performed by a diverse panel of experts from both traditional and AI industry backgrounds, utilizing unified criteria including emotional resonance, thematic consistency, originality, high production values, and sound design. For detailed competition rules and eligibility criteria, participants can refer to the official website.
