How to Win
MAU deeply cares about making lives better everyday. Our main goal is to share more of what we care the most about, YOU! By sharing more of your life as our MAU associate, we can show our authentic-self and maybe even encourage others to get a right job for them, too. Please read the contest’s mechanics carefully to avoid any issues or having your video discarded.
Every first week of the month, we’ll add the content categories/themes that you may use to get inspired and create your TikTok video.
Make sure to review all rules and guidelines before creating your video. We included suggestions that can help you make it to the final round! (Details matter)
- Fill out the form.
- Sign our Terms & Conditions in order to submit your video.
- Follow our TikTok account @weareMAU
DO NOT post your video on your personal social media accounts.
Here’s how we will choose our winner:
- Best 3 videos will be selected by our internal voting committee and will be communicated by the 15th of each month on the home page of this website.
- ONLY MAU will post these top 3 videos on our @weareMAU account. We will make the first comment on each video with a link to a leads form.
- Encourage your people to interact with your video, once posted! The video with the highest engagement score, by the end of the month will win.
- You may submit your video on your personal social media accounts, if selected as one of our top 3 videos AFTER the contest has ended. If you were not selected as our top 3 videos of the month and want to share your creation, make sure to get written permission. Send an email to [email protected] to request it.

Rules & Guidelines For Participants
Because safety is MAU’s #1 core value, we encourage you to read our Do’s and Don’ts thoroughly and consider them at all times when creating your video(s).
DO’s
✅ Record your video vertically.
✅ You are encouraged to use a newer phone camera (iPhone preferred) to take quality videos
✅ Natural lighting can make a huge difference in the quality of your video footage. The best time to record is during the golden hour, which is the hour just before sunset and just after sunrise. If you’re unable to shoot then, try to find an area with a lot of natural light and avoid harsh shadows.
✅ Take videos in controlled audio areas (clear talking/quiet background). Using a microphone can help to ensure that your audio is clear and easy to understand.
✅ Consider the angle at that the video is being taken and aligns subjects accordingly.
✅ Pay attention to the length of your video (the shorter the better)
DON’Ts
❌ For safety and security reasons, we ask that you not take videos of the factory or facility.
❌ Never record a video on a different social media app camera (Instagram, Snapchat, Etc.)
❌ It is important to always respect people’s privacy and not record a video without their knowledge or consent.
❌ Explicit or sensitive topics are NOT ACCEPTABLE.
❌ It’s important to maintain a respectful attitude when talking about competitors. It’s best to focus on the strengths of your product or service and avoid attacking any of your competitors.
❌ We will ensure that all videos used in our contest are original, not stock footage.
❌ Do not wear your MAU T-shirt.
❌ Do not use foul language.
❌ Do not post the video on your personal account until you have green light from the internal committee to post it.
