Content Creator Competition -
Contestant Application
Welcome to the application process for the chance to become a contestant in the Content Creator Competition!
If you have been stared at in public places for filming weird things with your phone more times than you can count, you are in the right place.
If you can tell, just with your spidey sense, that something has changed in the algorithm, you are in the right place.
If you’ve labored for hours over a piece of content, only to get a couple hundred likes, but you keep going and one day something you barely worked on at all pops off, you are in the right place.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE APPLYING:
Why We’re Asking for Details
We’re not picking contestants at random — we’re looking for 20 creators who are ready to shine. That’s why we ask about your audience size, posting habits, engagement rates, etc. NOTE: You do NOT have to have a profile on all three platforms to become a contestant, we take into account the whole picture. If there is a required field in the form for a platform you don’t have, just enter a zero.
What We’re Judging
Your entry isn’t just about looking good. Our judges will score your content on: Retention & Pacing (keeps viewers hooked), Emotional Impact (makes them feel something), Replay & Share Factor (content people can’t help but pass along), Technical Execution (clean, polished, and professional), and Originality & Creativity (something only you could make).
Before You Hit “Submit”…
If you’re chosen, get ready to bring your A-game! You’ll need to grab your own ticket to The Selfie Room and film your masterpiece during our regular open hours between August 28 and September 8. That’s your window to create something unforgettable. Can’t make those dates work? No worries — just wait for the next round so you can give it 100%. We want every contestant walking in with time, energy, and ideas ready to roll.
*If there is a platform you don’t have an account on, just enter a zero in the required fields for that one. Don’t worry, you can still become a contestant. We look at the whole picture.
**Zip Code is a required field just to make sure that all contestants are from the Greater St. Louis Metro Area.
