The challenge.
RESPAWN Recruits is a multi-week content creation competition. Each week, creators complete a themed video challenge and submit their work for judging. Submissions are reviewed for pacing, editing, animation, transitions, subtitles, originality, creativity, and how well they use their time.
A selected group of creators advances each week. At the end of the competition, RESPAWN Products chooses the winners, who receive a prize package, a branded RESPAWN chair, and a contracted long-term partnership.
