The Musicbed Challenge is an annual 30-day short-film competition designed to inspire filmmakers to create original content using music licensed from Musicbed. The competition features several categories, including Narrative, where participants are tasked with crafting a non-branded, scripted narrative film. Submissions typically require the use of at least ten seconds of a Musicbed song and adhere to specific runtime guidelines, generally between one and ten minutes for narrative entries. Winners in the Narrative category receive prizes such as cash grants and filmmaking gear, alongside feedback from a panel of industry-leading judges.
