The Chroma Awards Season 2
Blog post from ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs has opened submissions for the second season of the Chroma Awards, a global AI creative competition spanning Film, Music Videos, Advertising, Games, and Behind-the-Scenes, with eligible projects created after February 1, 2026. Building on its 2025 debut, which drew more than 5,550 creators from 122 countries and over 6,600 projects, the competition offers more than $450,000 in cash prizes and travel perks, $1 million in tool trials and promotions, and student internship opportunities. Entries can be submitted without limit, although each project may enter only one category, and will be judged across three rounds by creative and AI-industry professionals, with winners announced on February 11, 2027. ElevenLabs is also offering dedicated awards totaling $22,000 for projects that significantly use its tools, along with VIP ceremony trips and Creator Partner Program positions, plus a music-video award for work featuring ElevenMusic soundtracks. The competition emphasizes creative quality rather than AI use alone, positioning free trials, open submissions, and curated judging as ways to support both emerging creators and established studios.
