Film Festival Audience Choice voting is open
By Steven Van ·
Paid accounts can cast up to five votes, and the film with the most votes wins $100,000.
The film with the most votes in Higgsfield’s Global Film Festival will win the $100,000 Audience Choice prize. Voting for shortlisted films closes on October 15, 2026, at 11:59 PM UTC.
Two shortlists, a fresh vote count
The shortlists include Create in Public, with up to 50 top projects ranked by community reactions, and Higgsfield Picks, selected by the team. Create in Public likes do not carry over: voting starts from zero.
How to vote
Accounts with a paid plan can open the festival page, watch a shortlisted film all the way through, then select Vote. Each user can cast up to five votes, with one vote per film, and cannot vote for their own film. Votes can be moved to another film until voting closes.
Separate from the jury prizes
Audience Choice is separate from the jury prizes for first through third place and honorable mentions. Each film can win only one prize. Films that violate the contest rules may be disqualified.
