The U.S. Mission Nigeria has launched the “Made in America, Loved in Nigeria Social Media Skit Contest,” a national campaign aimed at showing how American products, brands, and ideas benefit Nigerian communities. Running from December 1st to December 8th, 2025, the contest invites young Nigerians to create short digital skits that highlight how U.S. innovations improve daily life, inspire creativity, and support progress. The Mission stated that the initiative is designed to showcase “the positive impact of American products, brands, and ideas on communities across Nigeria.”
Participants are required to produce original 90 second vertical skits showing the influence of American tools, services, or culture in business, education, technology, creativity, or community development. Entries must be posted publicly on YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram, and tagged @USinNigeria. Contestants are encouraged to share their video across their own social platforms using the hashtags “#MadeInAmericaLovedInNigeria” and “#TradeThatTransforms.”
The contest is open to Nigerian citizens aged 18 to 45 who reside in Nigeria. Participants must submit only original ideas and are expected to fill an official entry form and upload a signed eligibility and release form. According to the guidelines, submissions will be pre screened for compliance with contest rules and judged based on creativity, relevance to the theme, storytelling, technical quality, and audience engagement. Winners will be revealed on December 12, 2025, on the U.S. Mission Nigeria social media accounts.
Top creators will win media production tools including Sony A7 IV creative bundle, Sony A7 III, and an iPhone 16 with Handheld Gimbal. Winners will also receive mentorship and exposure through U.S. Mission Nigeria social media features. The Mission noted that the contest supports Nigeria’s vibrant creative sector and “celebrates the innovative spirit of Nigerian youth” while strengthening cultural and economic ties between both nations.
