■ What is the 'DCP Award':
This is an award where participants democratically and openly select the winning works utilizing the proof-of-concept system of a value-circulating community (DAO) provided by DeCurret DCP. In this 2026 award, the winning works will be chosen by democratic voting among the creators submitting their works. Eligible works for submission are 'all Japanese works that have previously been submitted to SSFF & ASIA'. It's a timeless 'revenge match' that shines a spotlight again on works that were perhaps 'too far ahead of their time' or 'narrowly missed selection'. Whether from the 2000s or recent years, past nominations or awards are entirely irrelevant.
■ 'Value-Circulating Community' where contribution/passion and reward/status are exchanged
DeCurret DCP aims to create a 'value-circulating community' where companies, regions, and people connect more smoothly by utilizing the digital currency 'DCJPY' based on blockchain technology. Through collaboration with Visual Voice Inc., they are working on demonstrating the strengthening of connections among creators leading to new creative activities, the selection and operation of award programs by fans, and co-creation of works by creators and fans. The goal is to realize a value-circulating community service where participants' contributions and passion for the community accumulate as their own status, and are rewarded as digital currency or special experiences. The 2026 DCP Award targets creators submitting works, providing an experience of democratic voting where applicants watch and vote on each other's works to determine the winners, visualizing evaluations and feedback from other creators, and creating opportunities for connection through a Discord community.
■ Excellence Award includes 500,000 yen prize money, and selection as DeCurret DCP's Official Creative Partner as an extra prize
The winner will receive a prize of 500,000 yen, and as an extra prize, will be selected as an official 'Official Creative Partner' recognized by DeCurret DCP. Over the coming year, they will be given priority to handle the production of various video content, including promotional movies related to the tokenized deposit 'DCJPY' provided by DeCurret DCP.
SSFF & ASIA has been active for over 25 years to elevate the status of video creators and content, and to spread them to the world. Democratic activities utilizing blockchain will become more familiar
