We're excited to announce that Pixmax is the Official Partner & AI Compute Sponsor of the 2026 Origin CG International Creativity Competition — the 3rd edition of the global contest organized by CGGE and Krystal Institute, centered on Blender + AIGC creation.
The competition challenges creators worldwide to build a 3D scene in Blender and turn it into a 30–60 second AIGC short film — exploring a new model of AI-powered art education under this year's theme: "Imagine Without Limits."
As the Official Partner & AI Compute Sponsor, every participant gets free Pixmax credits to bring their ideas to life — leveraging leading AI video and image models to generate clips from Blender renders, and turning weeks of work into just hours.

- School Group — theme "Daily Life in Cube World": open to global students aged 9–18, creating with a provided Blender scene pack.
Prizes & recognition:
- Gold, Silver & Bronze Awards in each group (cash prizes, trophies, creator kits)
- 15 finalist spots with official certificates and website showcase
- Winning works showcased at the International AI and Creativity Conference, with exclusive interviews and Greater Bay Area creative study tours
