ASEAN Foundation TikTok Talent Hunt!
  • ASEAN Foundation TikTok Talent Hunt!

  • Overview
    The project will select and empower four young content creators from the ten ASEAN countries to produce content that educates, motivates, and inspires their audiences. These creators will be the face of ASEAN Foundation's TikTok channel, using short videos to share unique stories, spark curiosity, and help more people understand what ASEAN is all about—in fun, relatable ways. This project will run in short, three-month cycles, with each creator being replaced by a new one each cycle through open recruitment.

    Objective
    To empower four young content creators from ASEAN Member States to produce engaging TikTok videos that are entertaining, educational, and relatable to regional youth. The project seeks creators who can bring fresh, humorous, and out-of-the-box perspectives to raise awareness about ASEAN and its socio-cultural diversity. These creators will develop content that makes complex topics about ASEAN more accessible and enjoyable, using storytelling formats that resonate on social media.

    • Part 3: TikTok Challenge  
    • Creative TikTok Content Challenge

      As part of your application, please create and post a short TikTok video (up to 60 seconds, in English) on your account that tells a fun and interesting story about ASEAN. Your video should be creative, engaging, and easy for anyone to understand—even someone who doesn’t know much about ASEAN. The goal is to spark curiosity and make people smile, while getting them interested in learning more. Use your own unique style—whether it’s humor, storytelling, clever transitions, or skits—to bring your message to life.

      Think of it this way: If you were the viewer, what kind of video would grab your attention and make you want to learn more about ASEAN?
