What you win
Only one Grand Prize winner is selected in K-Film. That winner receives about $7,000 (subject to exchange rate fluctuations) worth of benefits below — a chance to bring your KOOM to life in Manhattan.
Winners outside the U.S. may choose to use part of their prize for round-trip airfare. Prize payments will be announced separately after KOOM Week (Oct 12-18).
- About $7,000 worth of benefits
- A screening opportunity at the KOOM venue
- Top 5 selections: a GV event in Korea (subject to change)
- An opportunity to speak on the KOOM stage.
How to enter
01
Create
Make a film that freely expresses your own Dream — any format or genre. Keep the video length around 30 minutes, and edit a teaser of 3 minutes or less. Works completed within the last 3 years are eligible.
02
Post
Publish the teaser on a public Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube account in your own name. Keep likes, comments, views, and other counts public, and use #koomchallenge and #koomfilm. If you post on Instagram, add @koom_challenge as a collaborator (not needed for TikTok or YouTube).
03
Submit
Send two links here: (1) the teaser post URL and (2) the original-film link. Upload the original as a private link that anyone with the link can view. Do not use a request-only URL.
