What is the "DCP Award"? This award utilizes the value circulation community (DAO) demonstration system provided by DeCurret to allow participants to democratically and openly select award-winning works. For the 2026 award, winning works will be selected through a democratic vote among creators who submit their works. The submission対象作品 are "all Japanese works that have been submitted to SSFF & ASIA in the past." This is a "timeless revenge match" to shine a spotlight again on works that were "ahead of their time" or "narrowly missed selection." Submissions from the 2000s to the most recent are all eligible, regardless of past nominations or awards.

"Value Circulation Community" Where Contribution and Enthusiasm are Exchanged for Rewards and Status DeCurret aims to create a "value circulation community" where companies, regions, and people connect more smoothly, utilizing the digital currency "DCJPY" based on blockchain technology. Through collaboration with Visual Voice Inc., we are working on demonstrations such as strengthening connections among creators leading to new creative activities, selection and operation of award programs by fans, and co-creation of works by creators and fans. We aim to realize a value circulation community service where participants' contributions and enthusiasm for the community accumulate as their own status, and rewards are given in the form of digital currency or special experiences. For the 2026 DCP Award, creators who submit works will be able to experience democratic voting where they view and vote on each other's works to decide the winners, visualize evaluations and feedback from other creators, and create opportunities for connection through the Discord community. ■ Grand Prize Winner Receives ¥500,000 and Becomes DeCurret Inc.'s Official Creative Partner In addition to a cash prize of ¥500,000, the winner will be selected as an "Official Creative Partner" of DeCurret Inc. For the next year, they will be given priority in producing promotional videos and various video content related to DeCurret Inc.'s tokenized deposit "DCJPY."

SSFF & ASIA has been working for over 25 years to elevate the status of filmmakers and content and to promote them to the world. Democratic activities utilizing blockchain technology are becoming more and more prevalent.
