Create original, funny, educational, or otherwise engaging images and videos for the opportunity to be featured on one of Tongal’s social channels.

Are you an aspiring meme lord? Do you rack up likes with your eye-catching social posts? Are you low-key Twitter famous?


You already love to follow Tongal across all our social channels (right?!). Now we're looking to YOU to help create the content you want to see on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. This is an on-going initiative with plenty of opportunities to make your mark, so fire up your social synapses and stay awhile!


As we all know, things on social media happen quickly and trends come and go in the blink of an eye. But with a global community of over 160,000 brilliant minds, we know that Tongalers have a pulse on what matters most to creators everywhere. Give us your AWESOME content and become part of the digital conversation. We’ll be checking submissions throughout the month and may award yours early if it’s tied to a trending topic.


What are we looking for:

  • Original images, videos, and GIFs that are ready-to-share on Tongal’s existing social channels
  • Educational content that shows off how your favorite films or TV shows achieved an effect (example: Forced perspective in Elf)
  • Content that creatively promotes and helps other creators discover the Tongal website, our projects, or resources  (example: Highlighting community-written blog posts on Insta)
  • Trending memes to which you’ve given a Tongal twist (example: Tongal x YouTube Rewind Mash Up)
  • Quick testimonials telling us what you love about Tongal
  • :15 vertical videos that we can feature during our weekly Instagram Stories shows, Winner Wednesday or This Week on Tongal (or completely original vids for a new show/segment)
  • BTS pics of your own creative projects - or Tongal projects. Show us what #SetLife is all about (focus on your crew, not the client/brand. Here are examples from our feed.)
  • Illustrations or comics that speak to our community  
  • If you're unsure if you're on the right track, ask in the Project Forum!

The goal of this project is to identify at least 10 ready-to-post submissions for Tongal’s social channels. Go ahead, check out what we’ve already posted at the links below and think about how you can help keep the party going.


If we select your submission, you get paid and we’ll tag you on the channel where it’s posted! 


--Exposure: Tongal social channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube)

This Project will be worth a total of $250 and consists of a Social Asset Phase. Be sure to read the following information carefully as well as the Official Rules.

 

PHASE 1: SOCIAL ASSET – Create an original social media asset (image, video, or GIF) to be used on one of Tongal’s existing social channels. You also have the option to include a note about your submission (great for adding suggested copy too!), which channel you think it should live on, and your social handles so we can tag you if we select your submission.
