GreatistYou

One day it hits you: Now is the time to make a lasting, incredible change. Sound familiar? We want to help—and be part of your journey. Introducing…GreatistYou!

Forget weight-loss reality-TV melodrama. GreatistYou is a first-of-its-kind social media experiment. We’re showing what it’s really like to set a goal, put in the work, and get those healthy habits to actually stick.

But we can’t do it alone. We’re looking for four amazing Greatists to star in and shape the first season of GreatistYou—they simply need to be ready to embark on a six-week mission to accomplish an inspiring health goal.

It could be anything! Maybe you want to train for your first half-marathon. Maybe you’re (really!) going to quit smoking. Maybe you want to become a morning person, get strong and healthy for your wedding, or take the plunge with Whole30.

Whatever it is, we want to help—and $reward$—you for crushing your goal! We’ll provide you with the support and motivation you need (including a $1,000 prize and a super-inspiring mentor to encourage you along the way). And you? You just need to have serious social media chops, a healthy attitude, and be willing to document every step on Instagram and Snapchat using a @greatist[yournamehere] handle. And hey, this is new territory—we’re letting you tell your story.

Interested? Here’s What to Do:
Enter for a chance to win a spot on GreatistYou by posting an Instagram video on your personal account, telling us about the specific goal you want to achieve and how you plan on doing it, by 5 p.m. EDT, Monday, July 25, 2016. Be funny! Be charming! And most importantly, be yourself! Use the hashtag #greatistyou and make sure to tag us @greatist so we can check out your submission.

The Fine Print:
Our panel will select four contestants based on personality, social media presence, and specific goal. Each selected contestant will be expected to participate in GreatistYou from August 8, 2016, to September 30, 2016, by:

• Posting about their efforts to achieve their goal a minimum of two times per day on Instagram and three times per day on Snapchat from August 8, 2016, to September 18, 2016, using a @greatist[firstname] handle and the hashtag #greatistyou
• Posting about their journey and results a minimum of three times per week on both Instagram and Snapchat from September 19, 2016, to September 30, 2016, using a @greatist[firstname] handle and the hashtag #greatistyou

Oh, and About That Reward...
Let’s just call this extra encouragement. Each contestant who achieves their specified goal during the six-week season of GreatistYou (and who meets the social media requirements above) will win $1,000. We’ll also award an extra $1,000 to the Fan Favorite, who will be voted on by Greatist readers. #WINNING
