The best effects often start small: a personal joke, a mood, a "what if my photo could do this?". If you love making things like that, this contest is for you.

From October 26 to November 26, 2026, create your own video effect in Kinetik. We'll pick the 15 best and add them to the product with your name on them.

What you get

1. 1
   Your effect in Kinetik. It goes live in Atlas ↗ with your name and a link to your profile, so everyone who uses it knows whose idea it was.
2. 2
   The spotlight. We'll feature you on our social channels and write a separate Kinetik Mag article about the creators behind the effects.
3. 3
   Our full support. You made something people use. We'll help as many people as possible see it.
4. 4
   Up to €500 per effect:

• €300 when your effect is accepted. Submit your effect right in Kinetik and leave your email. We'll pick the 15 best.
• €100 when 100+ people use it. If more than 100 people use your effect in the first 14 days after it goes live, you earn an extra €100. Ask your Kinetik anytime to see how many people have used your effect.
• €100 when you bring 50+ new users. Get your personal link in Kinetik. If more than 50 new people sign up and start using Kinetik through it within 14 days after your effect goes live, you earn another €100. This bonus is paid once per creator.

What makes a great effect

• It moves. It brings the photo to life.
• It hits in one second. The before/after speaks for itself, no caption needed.
• The more personal, the better. Your style, your humor, your idea. Just make sure it's truly yours and not a copy from another platform: we check every submission for originality.

Show it off

You made an effect nobody else has. Let people see it. Post your before/after on your accounts with #kinetikeffect and tag @kinetik_agent.

Every post is a chance for your audience to try your effect themselves. We'll be watching the tag and sharing our favorites on our channels. Can't wait to see what you make.
