Where Human Creativity Builds New Worlds.
Humanity has always dreamed of parallel worlds — in its myths, its stories, its films. The metaverse is not a break from this ancient aspiration. It is its most vertiginous fulfillment. And behind every virtual world that makes a heart, there is a human creator who had the audacity to imagine it.
The World AI Metaverse Festival in Cannes is an AI metaverse festival dedicated to immersive experiences, virtual worlds and XR creations enhanced by artificial intelligence.

OUR MISSION
The World AI Metaverse Festival was born from a frontier that is disappearing — the one between the real and the virtual, between what exists and what can be created. For centuries, artists, architects, scenographers, and universe designers came up against an absolute constraint: the physical world. AI and the metaverse together abolish this constraint. A virtual-world architect, an immersive-experience designer, or a holographic storyteller can now build entire realities — with their own laws, aesthetics, and emotions — with no limit other than the scope of their imagination. Our mission is to recognize and honor those who build these new territories of the human imagination.
A direct affiliate of the World Film Festival in Cannes – Remember the Future, founded by filmmaker Karolina Bomba — a global pioneer in recognizing AI creations as early as 2020 — the World AI Metaverse Festival has established itself as the international reference for creators building the worlds of tomorrow. Our conviction: the metaverse is not a technology. It is a new creative continent. And like all continents, it has value only through the human civilizations that inhabit it.
OUR THREE PILLARS
The World Builder
Each experience is evaluated on the coherence of its universe, the depth of its narrative architecture, and the quality of immersion. AI is a construction engine. The world is what its architect decides it to be.
Experience Before Spectacle
We celebrate creations that make people live something — not just see it. A successful metaverse experience transforms the spectator into a participant, the visitor into an inhabitant of a world that resists and surprises them.
A Borderless Global Stage
Developers, XR artists, experience designers, virtual architects, NFT artists — open to all nationalities, all platforms, and all immersive-experience formats.
THE JURY & THE SELECTION
An international jury composed of virtual-world architects, XR artists, immersive-experience experts, digital philosophers, and emerging-technology ethics specialists evaluates each submission according to avant-garde criteria: coherence of the universe, depth of the experience, originality of the creative architecture, responsible use of AI, and ability to create authentic emotion in a virtual world.
The winners are honored during the annual ceremony of the World AI Metaverse Festival, in Cannes — where the future of global creation takes on a new face every year. Submitting to the World AI Metaverse Festival means affirming that the world you have built deserves to be inhabited.
