01The Challenge
UpneX Solutions is hiring its first Social Media Intern — a freshers-only, remote, paid role. The challenge: make two short videos for one of our US consumer brands — the brand and the full creative briefs are revealed in your inbox the moment you register. Our brands grow on one engine: short, honest, genuinely useful video.
Your clock is your own: the moment you register, the full brief lands in your inbox and your personal 48 hours begin. Two 30–40 second vertical shorts, submitted before your own deadline. We remind you at 24 hours and again in your final hour.
Use any AI tools and any style — talking-head, faceless captions, animation, screen-record, skit, explainer. Every entry must have a hook in the first 2 seconds, real substance, and one soft CTA. And keep it evergreen — no prices, no dates, nothing time-specific. Speed and judgment are part of the test, because that's the actual job.
The best entries get published on our official channels — some while the contest is still running. The best creator gets hired.
02Round 2 — The Real Job
The top 10 from Round 1 advance. You'll receive one raw, unedited founder video and 72 hours to deliver:
01Two short clips cut from the raw footage — hooks found, captions added, ready to post
02A one-week content calendar for our channels — what you'd post, where, and why
This is the actual job: taking one recording and turning it into a week of content. The top 3 interview. One gets the offer.
03How It Runs
Step 01
Register — your clock starts
The full brief (both video briefs, fact sheet, content rules, submission steps) lands in your inbox instantly, with your exact personal deadline.
+24 hours
Halfway reminder
We email you at your 24-hour mark, and again in your final hour.
+48 hours
Your personal deadline
Both shorts submitted as unlisted YouTube or Google Drive links through this page. Late entries are not judged. Technical trouble? Email both links to hari@upnexs.com before your deadline — the timestamp counts.
Round 2
Top 10 · 72 hours
Finalists receive one raw founder video and 72 hours to deliver two cut shorts + a one-week content calendar. This is the actual job.
Finals
Top 3 interviews → winner announced
30 minutes with the founder, online. Prizes paid within 7 days of the announcement. The internship starts shortly after.
04How Entries Are Scored
30%
The Hook
Do the first two seconds stop the scroll? We judge like the algorithm does.
25%
Structure & Retention
Does the video earn every second? Hook → point → example → close, nothing wasted.
25%
Brief & Truth Adherence
On-brief, plain English, US-audience fit — and every claim provable. A brilliant video that overpromises scores zero here.
20%
Craft
Captions, pacing, sound, edit quality. Phone-shot is fine; sloppy is not.
Tie-breaker: Brief & Truth Adherence. We would rather publish an honest good video than a viral dishonest one — that is the company, not just the rubric.
05Prizes
$50

Plus the internship offer.

$20
3rd Place
Same standing invitation.
Total pool: $100, paid within 7 days of results. Selected entries — not only the winners' — are published on our official channels, some during the contest itself. Your work runs on a real brand, and you keep the right to show it in your portfolio.
06The Job
$100/month
Social Media Intern · Remote · 3-month probation
You own our consumer brand's short-form content end-to-end — and turn the founder's weekly recordings into a full week of content across YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook. You work on US-market brands and US clients from week one — real international experience, not busywork. You get the tools — including an AI (Claude) subscription — the strategy playbook, and direct access to the founder.
After probation, a performance revenue share is added on top of the stipend — agreed in writing before you start, tied to results your content actually produces.
Intern→Owns the channels→Owns the revenue function
We are a small, execution-focused team: if you ship consistently and take ownership, the ceiling is genuinely high.
07Who Can Enter
01Freshers, students and recent graduates ONLY — this is an internship; experienced professionals should not apply
02Based in India, 18 or older
03Fluent written and spoken English — the audience is American
04Able to make vertical video with any tools — phone, free editors, AI generators, all welcome
05Available for a remote internship starting within two weeks of results
08Ground Rules
Truth first: every factual claim in your video must be provable and consistent with the fact sheet in the brief. No guarantees, no invented statistics, no legal citations, no advice framed as legal counsel.
Evergreen only: never mention any price, date, month, season or news event — entries must stay reusable years from now, exactly as they are.
Original work: everything must be your own. AI tools may assist — encouraged, even — but no stock-template rip-offs and no reused client work.
Publishing licence: by submitting, you grant UpneX Solutions OPC Pvt Ltd a perpetual, royalty-free licence to publish, adapt and use your submissions as the company's digital assets, effective immediately — including strong entries that do not win. This is a competition: only one person gets the internship, but good work may run on our channels either way. You keep the right to show your entries in your own portfolio. Do not post contest entries publicly on your own accounts before results are announced.
Submissions: through this page, as unlisted YouTube or Google Drive links. Technical trouble? Email both links to hari@upnexs.com before your personal deadline — the email timestamp counts as your submission time.
Prizes & selection: prizes are paid within 7 days of the announcement. Judges' decisions are final. Nothing in this competition is a promise of employment beyond the one internship offer described above.
