HBBA Launches #MyImageMyRight Challenge for Nigerian Students: Win Up to ₦150,000
Hope Behind Bars Africa (HBBA) is putting young voices at the center of the fight against online abuse with its new #MyImageMyRight Challenge. The campaign is designed to give Nigerian students a powerful platform to speak up about digital safety, human rights, and justice — all in just two minutes.
What Is the #MyImageMyRight Challenge?
This isn’t your typical social media contest. HBBA is calling on students to use creativity — from skits, spoken word, drama, music, or even storytelling — to raise awareness about:
- The risks of sharing intimate images without consent
- The dangers of revenge porn and cyber harassment
- Tech-based gender violence
- Nigerian laws such as the Cybercrimes Act, VAPP Act, and Data Protection Act
- How breaking these laws can lead to arrest or detention
The idea? To mix fun, creativity, and boldness with real legal lessons that matter.
Who Can Join?
- Students in Nigerian tertiary institutions
- Age bracket: 15 to 24 years
- Passionate about justice, fairness, and human rights
How to Enter
- Create a video not longer than 2 minutes.
- Post it on TikTok or Instagram with the hashtag #MyImageMyRight.
- Follow and tag @HopeBehindBarsAfrica on both platforms.
- Get your friends to like, share, and comment to boost engagement.
What the Judges Want
Entries will be judged on:
- Creativity – fresh, catchy, and original
- Accuracy – facts must align with Nigerian laws
- Impact – a strong, clear, and educational message
- Engagement – likes, comments, shares, and reach
Prizes to Be Won
- 1st Prize: ₦150,000 + a paid internship with HBBA
- 2nd Prize: ₦100,000

Winning videos will also be featured on HBBA’s platforms and showcased at campus events across Nigeria.
Deadline to Apply
Entries close on October 6, 2025 — no extensions.
Why It Matters
For many students, this challenge isn’t just about winning money. It’s about taking the lead in protecting young people from cyber harm, shaping online culture, and becoming a voice for justice.
So, if you’re creative, bold, and ready to make your voice count, now’s your moment. Two minutes could earn you a spotlight — and possibly ₦150,000. Lights, camera… action!
