Win 1,000,000 Credits in the Aristotto Halloween Challenge
by Aristotto7 minThis October, turn a Halloween twist into an original AI music video for the chance to win 1,000,000 Aristotto credits.
The Aristotto Halloween Challenge is open to anyone with an idea who wants to experiment, tell a story, and create something unexpected.
The first 100 eligible participants who successfully submit their concept will also receive 2,500 Aristotto credits to help them get started.
The Prizes
1st Place: 1,000,000 Aristotto credits
2nd Place: 500,000 Aristotto credits
3rd Place: 250,000 Aristotto credits
Community Choice: 3 months of Aristotto Signature (60,000 credits per month)
The Challenge
Create an original AI music video with a Halloween twist.
Your entire video does not have to be Halloween-themed. The twist can be subtle or dramatic: a strange transformation, creepy character, supernatural moment, eerie environment, unexpected detail, dark ending, or another creative Halloween element.
Your final video must be at least 60 seconds long.
Your submission will be evaluated as a complete audiovisual work, so both the visuals and audio matter. You can use the music, voice, sound, and other audio tools available in Aristotto as part of your creative process.
Your final submission must be primarily created using Aristotto. External tools can be used for final touch-ups and post-production.
We may ask for generation IDs or other proof of generation to confirm platform usage.
How to Enter
There are two steps.
Before You Start
You need an Aristotto account, a verified Discord account, and a public social account on Instagram, X, YouTube, or Facebook that is at least two months old and shows genuine prior activity.
Create an Aristotto account at:
https://www.aristotto.ai/signup
Join the Aristotto Discord at:
https://discord.gg/aristotto
Complete verification in #Verify channel.
Step 1: Submit Your Concept
First, show us what you plan to create.
Your concept can be a moodboard, storyboard, written idea, image, teaser, test clip, short video, or another clear representation of your idea.
It does not need to be your finished video.
The first 100 eligible participants who successfully submit their concept will receive 2,500 Aristotto credits to help them get started with their challenge entry.
Step 2: Create and Submit Your Final Video
Turn your concept into an original AI music video with a Halloween twist.
Your final video must be at least 60 seconds long and primarily created using Aristotto.
Submit your finished entry by October 24, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT.
What Does "Submit" Mean?
The same submission process applies to both your concept and your final video.
1. Post It Publicly on Social Media
Share your concept and later your final video publicly on one of these platforms: Instagram, X, YouTube or Facebook and add Aristotto credit to your work:
Instagram: aristotto.ai
X: aristottoai
YouTube: Aristotto-AI
Facebook: AristottoAI
Your post must include #Aristotto & #AristottoHalloweenChallenge and clearly mention that you are participating in the Aristotto Halloween Challenge.
Keep the post public during the challenge.
2. Share It in the Discord Showcase
Post the same concept or final entry in the Showcase channel in the Aristotto Discord.
For your submission, use the title:
SUBMIT: Aristotto Halloween Challenge Concept
SUBMIT: Aristotto Halloween Challenge Final Video.
If your final video is too large to upload directly to Discord, you can share a public or unlisted YouTube link instead. If you use an unlisted YouTube link, you still need to make the required public social post.
3. Open a Support Ticket
After posting on social media and in Showcase, open a support ticket in Discord and send us:
Your public social-post link
Your Discord Showcase-post link
The email connected to your Aristotto account.
Complete these three actions for both your concept and your final video. You can use the same Discord support ticket for the concept and final video.
