We Started This Journey Earlier.
Now We're Coming Back Bigger.

The Ad Film Contest was announced earlier and multiple creative participants had already started submitting their videos. Several entries were received.

Due to different circumstances, the contest could not be taken to its final conclusion at that time.

Now we are officially

Resuming the Contest.

And this time we are expanding it by adding a dedicated

Influencer Category.

Already participated earlier? Your participation is part of this continuing journey.

Creativity That Was Already Recognized

During the earlier phase of the contest, participant work was showcased and certificates were presented to some participants in the presence of:

Smt. Amala Akkineni

Director, Annapurna College of Film and Media

This section reflects earlier recognition of participant creativity, not current sponsorship or organisation of this contest.

Now Show Us Your Idea.

We previously received multiple creative entries. Here are 15 selected participant videos for inspiration.

Take Inspiration.Don't Copy.

Every creator has their own approach. The videos below are references only. Your concept can be completely different.

Reference Note • Dubbed for Inspiration

Why these films are dubbed

This contest first started as a Telugu edition, so these original ad films were created by participants in Telugu. After the overwhelming response, Millet Creators expanded to all Indian languages. These sample films have been dubbed into English purely as creative references, so you can understand how earlier participants shaped their ideas. For this nationwide edition we welcome fully original entries created directly in your own language.
