Visa is launching a branded mission page on TikTok page, whereby users with 1,000 or more followers will receive a notification inviting them to upload content showcasing their journey and the steps they have taken towards achieving their goals. 

To be entered for a chance to win, Participants must, during the Promotional Period, upload a video on their TikTok account, showcasing their milestone moment, along with the ‘how’ in the transitions. All entries must bear the hashtag “#MakingIt”.  

The background music they can use in the challenge is available on TikTok and can be found either by the search bar, using the key word “Making it with Visa”, or by clicking on it when it appears on other users’ videos that use this sound. While Participants are encouraged to incorporate this music into their videos, its use is not required for entry. 

Each Participant may submit only one video. If multiple videos are submitted, only the first video received will be considered, and subsequent submissions will be disregarded.

Participants submitting their entries must ensure that their post setting for the entry is set for public viewing.

5 Selection of Winner  

The Promoter along with the Organizer will conduct an initial review of all eligible entries. A panel of judges will then subjectively select 3 winners based on criteria including the impact of the Participant’s journey, creativity, and the clarity of the steps taken towards achieving their goals. The panel will choose the winners whose submissions they believe are the most impactful and inspirational. Judges’ decisions are based on their own complete discretion in viewing the participant’s journey, provided that these decisions are final and binding to the participants. 

The winners will be selected on 09/09/2024.

The Promoter along with the Organizer will also reserve one back-up winner, using the same criteria. 

6 Prizes Generally 

a) Visa will create a video featuring all selected winners, which will be published across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube (the “Prize”). This video will receive a media boost for 12 days, starting from [22/08/2024] and ending on [03/09/2024].
