48 Hours. One Theme. Total Creative Freedom.
The MSSA Media Jam 2026 is a high-speed creation sprint where your only limit is your imagination—and a 5-minute timer. Whether you’re a filmmaker, a coder, a musician, or a digital artist, your task is to build a piece of media that captures a secret theme (revealed at kickoff) and pack that punch into a 5-minute experience.
Experiment with a new medium, push a weird idea to its limit, and see what you can "jam" together before the clock runs out. Anything media goes!
Get Started
- Assemble Your Crew: Sign up in a team of up to five, or fly solo. Need a team? We’ll help you find your match on day one.
- Show Up: Check-in is mandatory on both February 28 and March 1 at the ASC Second Floor. Gear Up: We provide the snacks and the space; you provide the tools. If you're short on gear, hit up UBC’s lending libraries like Chapman Learning Commons or UBC Studios.
- The Sprint: You have from the opening ceremony until 11:59 PM on March 1 to create your submission from scratch.
- Submit: Upload your project link to Devpost before the deadline to stay in the running for judging.
