Generathon #3 × Paris Creator Week
The Generathon 3 × Paris Creator Week is here! Join us on Oct. 31–Nov. 1 in Paris for a 24-hour hackathon where 80 of the sharpest AI Creatives build the next generation of AI-generated content, competing for cash, tool prizes, and access to the Paris Creator Week 2026 (4-5 Nov. in Paris).
Brought to you by Le Motif, an AI creative & content creator, and roland.builds, the Generathon is the place to be, where AI artists, video creators, and storytellers come together to push what's possible when creativity meets frontier models.
It's all about making something people actually enjoy watching and sharing, if they don't get too scared! 👻
⚙️ Event details
Teams of 1-3 have 24 hours to build, then pitch live to our jury on Sunday afternoon. Pick one of two tracks, ship something unique, and compete for the win. Here are the two tracks:
🎥 Three Minutes to Scare (Short horror film format) : Your film should deliberately evoke fear, suspense, or disgust, with a strong narrative arc.
