Advertising Track
The AI Ad Challenge
Make an ad worth stopping the scroll for. Use Qolaba as your AI ad generator to write, shoot, cut, and colour a 15 second product ad, a 30 second brand film, or a social spot without a camera, a set, or a post house. Post it publicly, tag @qolaba, and you are in the running for real cash and 6 months of Qolaba in the Advertising track.
The kind of ads people are making with Qolaba
A quick look at the kind of work this track produces. Once the challenge opens, real entries from other creators take these spots and update as new submissions come in.
So, what is the AI Ad Challenge?
It is the Advertising track of the Qolaba AI Film Challenge, and the whole idea is simple: pick a product or brand, real or made up, and build the ad you always wanted to see for it. Qolaba works as an AI commercial generator and AI ad maker in one place. You write the concept, generate the shots, cut the timing, colour it, and export it, all inside the same tool. No agency, no crew, no waiting on a director. If the ad lands with the jury or the community, cash, months of free Qolaba, and a spot on our channels are on the table.
No agency skills required
You bring the idea. Qolaba covers the models, the rendering, and every fiddly bit in between, so nothing sits between the ad in your head and the video on screen.
A finished spot in a sitting
A traditional shoot burns a week and a budget before anyone sees a rough cut. Here you can test three concepts by lunch, keep the one that works, and post it the same afternoon.
Broadcast ready look
Renders that hold up next to studio work. Regenerate a scene, tweak the colour, or swap a shot until the cut feels finished, not experimental.
A normal ad shoot eats a fortnight and a small mortgage before anyone sees a rough cut. Qolaba turns that on its head. Test three concepts by lunch, keep the strongest one, and post it the same day. The Ad Challenge gives you a real audience to test it against, a jury of people who make ads for a living, and a prize pool waiting for the entries that stop the scroll.
You make it, you post it, you send us the link. Judges score it, the community votes on it, and the strongest work rises to the top. Each step below takes a couple of minutes.
