If you think you’ve got what it takes – or know someone with a talent to get Swansea talking – here’s how to enter:
- Create a video no longer than 4 minutes showcasing your talent! Whether that’s singing, dancing, comedy, art, poetry, acting, impressions or a musical instrument.
- Read the terms and conditions. If you’re happy to proceed, send your video to us through Facebook Messenger via The Big Heart of Swansea Facebook. The deadline for videos is 5pm on Thursday 28th May.
- We will choose our favourite 8 videos who will go through to the finals! These 8 videos will be posted to our Facebook page at 5pm on Friday 29th May.
- The video with the most likes by 7pm on Saturday 6th June will be the winner of £150 to spend in Swansea City Centre! We would also love to get the winner to go LIVE from our Facebook page to put on a mini-concert on the night that we announce the winner.
How to get people to like your video:
- Invite friends and family to like the Big Heart of Swansea Facebook page so they get notifications from us.
- Tag your friends and family in the comments section so they know exactly which post to like.
- Share with friends and family! Make sure they like the post on The Big Heart of Swansea Facebook page. Any likes on shares will not be counted.
The competition is just for fun. We would like to unite the community at this difficult time by providing some fun entertainment whilst continuing to support the Swansea BID businesses. Please don’t be disappointed if your entry does not make the final 8 as we are planning more virtual competitions and fun in the very near future.
