CapCut × EAST2046 University of Cambridge Creator Lab is a one-day, in-person lab. You respond to a real brief from a partner charity or social enterprise, then leave them with work they can reuse.

Choose one track.

Track 01 — Campaign video

Make a 60–180 second campaign video in CapCut. Submit the video and a reusable production workflow. Document your sources, any AI use, and your fact-checks.

Track 02 — Interactive web page

Build one HTML page for the partner’s brief. Include at least two types of interaction. Submit the page and a reusable workflow, and document your sources and AI use.

Projects are judged on the output and the workflow. Each track has two winners: a £150 Amazon gift card and a £100 Amazon gift card. CapCut production tokens are provided for participants. Places are limited, and attendance is in person.

Requirements

Submit one project, in one track, by 5:00 PM BST on 22 October 2026.

Everyone submits three things:

1. The finished piece

Track 01: a campaign video of 60–180 seconds, plus a link that opens the video.

Track 02: one HTML page with at least two types of interaction, plus a link to the page. If the page cannot be hosted, upload a ZIP and say so in the project-link field.

2. A reusable workflow

Upload a PDF or ZIP that a charity or social enterprise can follow without you in the room. Name the tools, steps, and files they need.

3. Sources, AI use, and fact-checks

Name the brief you responded to. List your sources and any AI tools you used. For a video, include the fact-checks. If you used no AI, write “No AI used.”
