We have a fun two-part challenge specifically intended for African American females! This challenge will work differently than our typical challenges, so please carefully review the rules below:

Challenge Rules for Parts 1 and 2: 

  • You must be an African American female to be eligible to participate. You are required to submit a selfie as part of your submission, but your whole face does not have to be in it.
  • Part 1 consists of a brief survey.  Part 2 will include an activity involving the purchase and use of dry shampoo as well as several follow-up questions.  (Keep in mind most dry shampoos cost $4-$8, so the prize money will cover these costs.)
  • Prizes: 
    • Part 1: There are no prizes for Part 1.  This is considered a screener to be sure you are eligible for Part 2.
    • Part 2: $30 will be awarded to anyone who completes the activity and questions.
  • If you successfully complete Part 1, you will receive a separate email invitation to complete Part 2 and will then be awarded your $30 prize. 
  • Anyone who is eligible by completing Part 1 will receive exclusive access to Part 2. 

Deliverables

To qualify for Part 2 and the $30 prize, please complete the following:

  • Answer each of the survey questions below
  • Upload a selfie in the open text box (you can block out your face, but we at least need to see your hair)

We will notify you via MindSumo message and/or email if you are eligible for part 2 :)
