Spotlight! Payments Video Challenge
Help Us Educate the Public About Avoiding Financial Scams
The Payments Innovation Alliance is sponsoring its second annual short video contest and is seeking organizations to support the contest as Presenters. Scheduled to launch in July 2025, the video contest theme is combating financial scams (i.e., how consumers can protect themselves from financial scams). Presenters have an opportunity to support this creative endeavor that will award a total of $10,000 in prize money.

The speed at which fraudsters are adapting to new technology continues to accelerate, including artificial intelligence. The public-at-large cannot be educated enough about the emerging threats of cybersecurity, financial frauds and scams. Everyone has a role in mitigating payments-related financial scams.
The short video contest provides an opportunity to broaden the ecosystem messaging and reach consumers more quickly through educational pieces that are developed by a wide range of contributors that can be amplified through social media.
Foster a positive reputation
- Boost your national brand visibility and gain recognition for fighting financial scams.

Reach new audiences
Younger people reported losing money to fraud more often than older people – with 44% between the ages of 20 – 29 vs. 25% between the ages of 70 to 79*. Contest promotion will be done through social media to attract this demographic.
