Create a video under one minute that showcases your talent (if you want to go longer you can). Make sure to call out your favorite children’s charity and challenge at least 2 people to do the same. (For a list of potential charities to support, click here.)
Upload your video and share it from Indi to your social media outlets. Don’t forget to tag the friends you challenged!

The charity with the most aggregated buzz by Sept. 30, wins the 1st Place Prize of $50,000. There are also other opportunities to win for your favorite charity through 2nd & 3rd Place, and our Founders Prize. All Winners will be selected by 5 p.m. on Sept 30, 2016.
Some of the top charities include Orange County High School of the Arts, Autism Society of America, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, Adopt the Arts, and Tony Hawk Foundation.
