What You Need
Step-by-Step Guide
Choose Your Rounds
Pick 3-4 round formats: trivia, physical challenge, audience vote, rapid fire. Mix knowledge-based and physical/silly rounds.
Book a Venue
Large lecture halls, student union ballrooms, or outdoor amphitheaters work best. Need seating for 50+ and space for contestants up front.
Recruit Contestants
Get 8-12 contestants who are outgoing and funny. Use a Google Form application — this content is great for pre-event promotion.
Promote Hard
Start promoting 5-7 days out. Post contestant intros, teaser clips, and countdown stories. Partner with other orgs for cross-promotion.
Set Up the Stage
Arrive 1-2 hours early. Set up the stage area, test AV equipment, brief contestants on rules. Assign a dedicated camera person.
Run the Show
Keep energy HIGH. Involve the audience (voting, cheering, audience rounds). Keep rounds to 5-10 minutes max. Award prizes dramatically.
Capture Content
Film everything — contestant reactions, crowd shots, key moments. Get at least 3-5 TikTok-worthy clips. Interview winners after.
Promotion Tips
- •Post contestant 'audition' content 5 days before
- •Create a 15-second teaser for TikTok/Reels
- •Partner with 2-3 other campus orgs for cross-promotion
- •Put up flyers in high-traffic dorm and dining areas
- •Post a countdown on Instagram Stories starting 3 days out
Content Capture Tips
Set up one camera at the front capturing contestant reactions and one roaming camera in the audience. The gold is in reactions — surprise, embarrassment, celebration. Film at least 10 short clips and edit the 3 best into TikToks within 24 hours.
