The new edition of the ACES International Video Awards 2026 is officially open, inviting ACES-awarded and candidate cities, regions, and territories from all over the world to showcase the power of sport through audiovisual storytelling.

Now in its 6th edition, the ACES Video Awards have become a benchmark international contest highlighting how sport can convey values such as inclusion, sustainability, fair play, social cohesion, and regional development through creative and impactful videos.

All eligible administrations are invited to submit their videos by 15 May 2026. Participation is free of charge, and selected videos will be screened during the Awards Ceremony to be held in Macerata (Italy) on 8–9 October 2026, within the framework of the Overtime Festival.

The competition celebrates not only technical quality, but also emotion, storytelling, and the ability of sport to inspire communities and generate positive social impact.
