The creative challenge

• Show how the concept adapts into short-form social content and multiple campaign assets.

• Demonstrate strong hooks, clear messaging, accessibility and platform-native editing.

• Explain production workflow, delivery capacity, budget assumptions and turnaround approach.

Who can apply

• Solo creators, video editors, filmmakers, motion designers, creative strategists or small teams.

• Applicants able to show relevant original work and execute production end to end.

• Experience in education, community storytelling or conversion-oriented social content is a plus.

Selection criteria

• Originality and brand fit; content quality and storytelling.

• Practical deliverability, responsiveness and strength of production plan.

• Audience understanding, accessibility and potential to drive meaningful learner interest.

• Value for the proposed project scope rather than follower count alone.
