EXC#4 Continues - Bilibili

Contest Theme:

Continue

We once thought the story could only end here. Then, on an ordinary afternoon, we suddenly wanted to write a new beginning for it.

We no longer insist on arriving; we just still want to see the sky after the next rain, and the self that has walked through this stretch of the road.

The theme of this contest iscontinue. Because we are unwilling to give up, we continue; because we hold expectations, we continue. Carrying pain, and also carrying joy, we need not wait until the road ahead is clear before allowing ourselves to set out. The story is not over yet, and we are still on the way.

I hope everyone can find spare time outside of daily life to do the things they want to do, and I hope everyone can share everything about continuing—whether it is holding on to what you love, waiting for a reunion, saying goodbye to the past, setting out again, finding direction amid confusion, or picking up an unfinished story after a pause. All the steadfast, hesitant, and stumbling steps forward are part of continuing. (This is not meant to limit what anyone does, because reopening the project and picking up an unfinished frame is itself a kind of continuing, so this time, just follow your own pace and do what you still want to do.)

This competition remains positioned as a creative showcase platform for niche community enthusiasts. A quality video often brims with the creator's personal emotions - whether in each storyboard's design or every narrative arrangement, it should convey the creator's passion for the source material or their vibrant, unique creative drive.

Therefore, the works this contest hopes to receive are narrative-driven works that can tell a good story or create an atmosphere and immerse the audience in it. Alternatively, design-oriented works with unique creativity and a coherent storyboard design.

The submission period runs from today until Apr. 1, 2027. Contest results will be announced within two weeks after the entry deadline.

This contest has only a single video track and does not use a scoring or ranking system. The contest format is a shortlisted system: an entry is successfully shortlisted if more than half of the judges mark it as shortlisted. The number of shortlisted entries is subject to the review results, and no separate quantity limit is set.

In addition to the selected entries, we will separately establish Judges' Pick Awards, where each judge will choose one favorite work from all competition entries as their nominated pick.

During the judging process, entries will be anonymized. The judges invited for this contest are all recognized by the organizer as relatively pure and excellent creators when it comes to creation. The contest will not be mixed with any traffic or personal-relationship factors, and the final results will be determined entirely by anonymous votes from the judges and the organizer. Judge details will be announced in a follow-up column.
