The United States Mission in Nigeria has unveiled the “Made in America, Loved in Nigeria” Social Media Skit Contest, a nationwide digital campaign aimed at showcasing the impact of American products, brands, and ideas on Nigerian communities.
The contest, which runs from December 1 to 8, 2025, invites young Nigerians to create short skits demonstrating how U.S. innovations, services, and culture contribute to daily life, productivity, and development across the country.
Participants are required to produce original 90-second vertical videos highlighting the influence of American tools, products, or ideas in areas such as business, education, technology, creativity, and community service. Entries must be publicly posted on YouTube, Facebook or Instagram and tagged @USinNigeria. Contestants are also encouraged to share the same video using the hashtags #MadeInAmericaLovedInNigeria and #TradeThatTransforms.
The competition is open to Nigerian citizens aged 18 to 45 residing in the country. Applicants must submit only original content, complete the official entry form, and upload a signed eligibility and release form. All submissions will undergo pre-screening to ensure compliance with contest guidelines and will be judged on creativity, relevance to the theme, storytelling, technical quality, and audience engagement.
Winners will be announced on December 12, 2025, via the U.S. Mission Nigeria social media platforms.
Top creators will receive prizes including a Sony A7 IV creative bundle, Sony A7 III, and an iPhone 16 with a handheld gimbal, along with mentorship opportunities and features on U.S. Mission Nigeria’s social media pages.
The initiative reflects the Mission’s ongoing efforts to support Nigeria’s creative industry, strengthen cultural and economic partnerships, and celebrate the innovation and talent of Nigerian youth.
