⚠ Video Eligibility & Publication

Registering for the campaign does not automatically mean that your video will be accepted for publication.

Every submitted video will be reviewed by CYDI to confirm that it addresses the topic selected during registration, contains accurate and relevant information, and meets the campaign's content requirements.

Videos containing significant misinformation, videos that do not appropriately address the selected topic, or videos that do not meet the campaign requirements may not be uploaded on CYDI's official Facebook page.

Only videos reviewed and uploaded by CYDI will be eligible to accumulate Facebook views for the competition. A video that is not uploaded by CYDI will therefore not qualify for the Facebook views component of the competition.

📚 Research Before You Record

Participants are expected to provide accurate, relevant and evidence-based information on their selected topic.

Participants are encouraged to research their topic before recording. Reliable information and resources can be found on the official websites of CYDI, UNFPA, UNESCO and UNICEF.

You can also use CYDI's AI Chatbot to help research your topic, understand key issues and prepare your presentation.

Research first. Speak accurately. Share responsibly.

🔗 Invite Your Friends

After registration, you will receive a unique Contest ID and referral link.

Share your referral link with your friends and encourage them to register and participate in the campaign.

Every eligible registration completed through your unique referral link will be recorded under your Contest ID.

Your friends must register through your unique referral link for the referral to be recorded under your Contest ID.

📱 How Facebook Views Will Be Counted

Once your video has been reviewed and approved, CYDI will upload the video on its official Facebook page.

  • Only videos uploaded by CYDI will be considered for the Facebook views component.
  • Participants may share the original CYDI Facebook post with their friends, family and networks.
  • The views recorded on the CYDI Facebook video/post will be used for the views component.
  • Views from copies or reposted versions on personal Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp or other platforms will not be added to the CYDI Facebook view count.
  • Participants are encouraged to share the original CYDI Facebook post rather than uploading duplicate copies.

🔎 How Facebook Views Will Be Verified

To promote fairness and transparency, the official Facebook view count will be based on the view count displayed on the video posted by CYDI on its official Facebook page.

  • CYDI will record the view count of each participant's video at the official closing date and time of the campaign.
  • The recorded view count will be used as the participant's official qualifying views.
  • CYDI may review unusual or suspicious activity where there are reasonable concerns about artificial or manipulated engagement.
  • Participants must not use bots, fake views, automated services or other methods intended to artificially increase video views.
  • Where suspicious activity is identified, CYDI reserves the right to exclude questionable views or disqualify the affected video from the views component.

The view count displayed on the participant's video on CYDI's official Facebook page will be the official view count for the competition.

🏆

Certificate of Participation

A certificate of participation will be issued to participants once their video has been successfully submitted, reviewed and uploaded by CYDI on its official Facebook page.

🏆 How Will the Winner Be Selected?

The competition will consider two key performance indicators: eligible referrals generated through the participant's unique referral link and Facebook views recorded on the participant's approved video posted on CYDI's official Facebook page.

The participant achieving the highest qualifying performance based on the campaign's referral and Facebook view criteria will emerge as the winner.

Winners will be officially announced by CYDI, and the applicable cash prize will be transferred directly to the winner's bank account.
