Good to know
Included as the Dreamina and Seedance creator contest with the largest cash prize found. Winners were announced September 23, 2026 (used as event_date). Places 4 to 10 received a month of membership, not cash. Winner names are account handles as posted; no countries were published. Dreamina also ran a EUR 40,000 open call tied to the Annecy festival (June 2026) and a credits-only music video contest (July to August 2026); those are known from search results only and were not verified. The contest page on the Dreamina site was not found, so the url is the organiser's launch post.
