Your prompt is Speed. Create a 5–30 second animation with Blender as your primary creation tool. You can make a race, a simulation, a motion design piece, a joke, or your own take on the theme.

You can render anywhere. Entry requires a free RenderJuice account, with no subscription or payment details.

$5,000 in Cash and Rendering Credits

We are awarding $1,500 in cash and $3,500 in RenderJuice rendering credits across nine named prizes. Judges may also award additional honorable mentions with rendering credits.

First, second, and third place reward the strongest entries overall. Six specialty awards cover procedural work, simulations and effects, motion design, comedy, the community vote, and RenderJuice promos.

Submit October 15–31

Create your free RenderJuice account, join the contest Discord, and post your animation in #contest-submissions. Upload an MP4 or share a public video link, then add a short description and one Blender work-in-progress image.
