Contest Brief

This project is intended to find someone skilled in creating social media Animation and Short Videos about black history. These animations will be posted on BlackFacts.com and to our various social media platforms.

The initial engagement will be to create 3 black history videos for us to review. If we like the results we would look to engage the candidate in an ongoing relationship. With regular videos and Animations created on a weekly or monthly basis.

Here are 3 samples on Youtube:

These were create by a contractor for us and we really loved his work but he is no longer available so we are looking for someone new.


Below is a summary of possible topics and ideas. We want you to be creative and come up with your own ideas and even your own content around the themes listed below:



We really want to do ads that capture people’s EMOTIONS and ASPIRATIONS – Possible Topics

Timeline Video Series
Showing Key Black History Timelines for African Americans
1 - The Middle Passage
2 - Underground Railroad – Road to Freedom
3 - Civil War – North vs South (difference in Opportunities yet still yearning to be equal)
4 - Emancipation
5 - The Great Migration
6 - The Black Renaissance
7 - Civil Rights Movement
8 - Age of Obama
9 - Black Lives Matter Movement.

In addition we would love you to consider Campaigns around Black Soldiers in the Military
10 - American Revolution
11 - Civil War
12 - WWI and WWII
13 - Buffalo Soldiers

Black People are PART of the American Story and our influence is the biggest export from America to the world.. We LOVE the theme of “Black People you should know”.. So some animations on these topics could work:
14 - “Inspiring Women you should know”
15 - “Authors you should know”
16 - “Scientists you should know”
17 - “Groundbreakers you should know”
18 - “Business Moguls you should know”

Pick any 3 Topics in response to this request and summarize what you plan to do for the Video or Animation as part of your reply. ONLY people that identify the Topics (based on the number listed) and describe what they plan to do will be considered.

You can find content for your videos or animations on our website - www.blackfacts.com or elsewhere on the internet.

Also include samples of your work with Animations and Short Videos that have been used on social media campaigns elsewhere.

The winner of the contest must deliver 3 Videos or ANIMATIONS covering any of the topics above. This is a winner take all contest.

Employer Feedback

“Juan is an independent thinker. Works with little guidance and does great research. His deliverables are a great quality but are designed to show up well on social media. He is willing to make adjusments after the fact.”

    Hello everyone,

    We have decided to split the prize with 2 Main winners - you will have been notified already.

    And we had a 3rd contestant that only submitted 1 video but we wanted that one as well.

    The winners must include all 3 videos in the handover.

    PLEASE make sure you review your videos and spell check - a number of them had misspellings ...

    We will be posting another contest shortly. And we hope you will all consider participating..

    There will be multiple contests in the coming days so be on the lookout.

    We learned quite a bit in this process so future contests will be easier and we will provide more guidance.

    Thanks again for your participation.

    Hello all contestants.. We have been reviewing your entries and ranking them. We have been VERY pleased with the response. And while not everyone can win. Some of you only provided 1 entry and so were excluded from winning but we LIKED your entry so we may contact you directly..

    We hope that you all will stay tuned because we want to have several additional contests in the coming weeks and months.

    Not All contests will be 7 days.. Most will be 3-5 days. But we will identify 1-3 topics for each contest. We will also provide more guidance as we have learned quite a bit from this first contest.

    You should be notified of the winners later today.

    And see a NEW contest posted shortly after the winner is announced.

    More to come.

    -For Civil Rights Movement, we can have separate videos explaining each of the Civil Rights Act of 1957, 1960, Voting Rights Act of 1965, Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act) as well as crucial events from all events listed in the topics section.
    -Buffalo Soldiers, civil war and American Revolution stories to be made on a daily/weekly/monthly basis featuring prominent soldiers and events.

    I've gone through your example videos and my doubt is should we make a summary video?(your example video did not contain complete details, That is why I'm asking) or a video that shows complete details of given topic?
