UpFes, or Upload Festival, is a non-competition pen spinning event that everyone can join on their own. Each week will have a theme and pen spinners can make their own pen spinning combo to match that theme and upload it on social media. In the past there were various UpFes in penspinning community like JEB UpFes and Up[sb]Fes.
As for UpFes2025, 1 week after the last theme announced, SpinFest2025 team will select some videos from UpFes2025 submissions to create a special CV edited by TUv4 from JEB. This CV will be released on a final week of CVFes2025.

Every pen spinners can film the penspinning video(s) to fit with the theme of each week and submit it by upload and share on the social media platform(s) like Twitter or Instagram.
