Turkey's national AI film festival is accepting entries across 11 categories until 1 November 2026
T-AIFF 2026 invites AI-supported films, animations, documentaries and creative content to compete for awards across 11 categories. Applications close 1 November 2026.
The Turkey International AI Film Festival, known as T-AIFF, has opened applications for its third edition. The festival focuses specifically on work made with artificial intelligence support, covering films, animations, documentaries and broader creative content. With 11 award categories on offer, it positions itself as one of the more structured dedicated AI film competitions currently running.
The festival has not published prize values in its current announcement, so prospective entrants should treat this as an awards and recognition opportunity rather than assuming a cash prize. That said, a competitive festival with 11 distinct categories does offer meaningful scope for work to be judged on its own terms, whether that is a short fiction film, an animated piece, or a documentary made with AI tools. Before applying, it is worth visiting the official channels to confirm exactly what each category covers and what the awards consist of.
What to submit
The festival accepts AI-supported films, animations, documentaries and creative content. The announcement describes 11 different award categories, though the full category list and technical specifications are available via the link in the festival's Instagram bio rather than in the post itself. Creators should visit the official Instagram page and follow the bio link to reach the application form and detailed submission guidelines.
Prize structure
Awards are given across 11 categories. The festival announcement does not specify whether prizes include cash, trophies, screening opportunities or certificates. Entrants should confirm the prize nature directly through the application portal before submitting work.
Terms worth reading
Full terms and conditions, eligibility rules, and rights information are not reproduced in the Instagram announcement. Before submitting, check the application page carefully for any licence grants over submitted work, territorial eligibility restrictions, and whether entry fees apply. No fee information is mentioned in the public post, but this should be verified at the point of application.
The application deadline is 1 November 2026. No cutoff time or timezone is specified, so submit with at least a day in hand to avoid any last-minute issues. Find details and the application link via the T-AIFF Instagram page.
