Official rules, terms & refund policy
Please read these rules before you enter. By entering, you agree to them.
1. Who runs the competition
Quins Events & Media Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company no. 14484246).
Address: 124 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom
Email: director@quinsmedia.com
Director: name to be published here before registration opens.
2. Who can enter
Anyone aged 3 or over, from any country, unless local law forbids taking part. Entrants under 18 must enter through a parent or guardian, who gives consent and manages the entry.
Staff of Quins Events & Media Limited, the judges and their close family may not enter.
3. Dates and how to enter
Registration opens on 10 November 2026. Closing dates for each round will be published on this page before registration opens.
Each entry costs a flat 9.99 in GBP, EUR or USD, paid by bank transfer using your GTH reference. An entry is confirmed only when payment is matched. Each entry needs its own fee; you may enter more than one category.
Entries must be your own original work, up to 3 minutes of video, and must not contain hateful, explicit or copyrighted material you don't have the right to use.
4. How winners are chosen
This is a competition of skill. 70% of the result comes from a panel of at least three independent judges, who score a blind first round against a published rubric: technique, creativity, originality, stage presence and impact. 30% comes from verified public voting, limited to one vote per verified person.
The judging panel will be named on this page before judging begins.
The judges' decision is final.

Grand Champion: trophy and certificate, a professional showcase film, a media feature and mentoring.
Category winners: trophy and certificate, a mentoring session and a showcase feature.

Entry fees are not refundable once your entry is confirmed, except in these cases, where you get a full refund:
- the competition is cancelled;
