Winning Boosted reach

• During the publishing week we will select videos at random to be boosted to a wider audience. To be eligible the video must:

  • ○ Fit the above entry criteria, however it does not need to cross a reach threshold.
  • ○ Be on Instagram or YouTube (TikTok do not allow people to boost videos about social issues)
  • ○ Fit the individual platform’s requirements for boosting (see below)
• For a direct boost

  Instagram:

  • ○ You must have a professional Instagram account (either as a creator or a business)
  • ○ The account the video is posted from must be linked to a Facebook page
  • ○ An admin of the Facebook page must be authorised to run ads about social issues
  • ○ Reels must be under 90 seconds long and have a 9:16 vertical aspect ratio
  • ○ Long form videos must be under 15 minutes long
  • ○ Videos cannot be boosted if they contain copyrighted music or interactive stickers

  YouTube:

  • ○ Your account must be a member of the Youtube Partnership Program
  • ○ When notified by us, you must link our account to your video
  • ○ The video must not contain any copyrighted music

  TikTok:

  • ○ Sadly TikTok does not allow paid promotion of videos that cover social issues.
• For an indirect boost:

  If the above criteria cannot be met we will perform an ‘indirect’ boost. This means we will upload the video to our own social media account and pay to boost it from there. On Instagram, we will add you as a collaborator.

  If your video is randomly selected to be boosted, but does not fit the criteria for boosting, we will select another video. You will still be eligible for the grand prize if those entry requirements are met.
