Storyhunter’s #CreativeUnderQurantine Contest
Our team has been communicating with a lot of freelancers in the past few weeks. Since many are out of work, we wanted to see if we can help in some way besides the regular postings now available on the platform.
We’re excited to announce Storyhunter’s #CreativeUnderQuarantine Contest!
Share with your fellow freelancers any tips you have for staying productive, creative or happy while under quarantine. How have you stayed busy while experiencing a loss of work? Have you developed new hobbies, habits or creative projects? What tips or advice can you offer fellow freelancers for making it through these tough times?
You can do anything you want, in any style, whether it be with motion graphics, or a simple walk-and-talk video. We just want to share some helpful ideas for the community right now.
Submit your tip by posting it on Twitter, tagging Storyhunter and using the hashtag #CreativeUnderQuarantine. We’ll be picking some of our favorites to share in a compilation at the conclusion of the contest.
The Storyhunter Community will select the best 3 submissions. The winner will receive a $3000 grand prize! 2nd place will receive $1,500 and 3rd place will receive $500.
Contest rules are simple:
- Submit your entry before May 3, 2020 using the hashtag #CreativeUnderQuarantine
- Videos must be 2 minutes or less
- You will need an account on Storyhunter to get paid
If you have any questions, comment them on this post or reach out to jake@storyhunter.com. See what some other freelancers have asked below.
FAQs:
Does my submission have to be a video?
Absolutely not! You have the freedom to create absolutely whatever you want, whether it be a video, photo-essay or written journalism.
Do videos have to be in English?
You don’t have to speak English in your video. We do ask that if there are other languages being spoken in the video, that you have English subtitles on it.
What if I don’t have Twitter? How can I enter?
If you aren’t on Twitter, feel free to share it on whatever social platform you like (just make sure to use #CreativeUnderQuarantine and tag us). Also, send it to us via email (to jake@storyhunter.com). This way, we can share it on your behalf.
Can freelance colleagues of mine enter if they aren’t on Storyhunter?
This contest is open to all freelance creators. However, in order to get paid, they’ll need to have a Storyhunter account. We’ll be sending all cash prizes through the Storyhunter platform, the same way that you get paid for completing a project.
