About this competition
Break the Feed with Unstop is a content creation challenge that invites students and young creators to produce engaging social media content promoting two major student competitions: Adobe University Hackathon 2026 and TVS Credit E.P.I.C. 8.0. The goal is to make fellow students stop scrolling and start applying — through Instagram Reels, LinkedIn posts, or YouTube Shorts that are original, relatable, creative, and share-worthy.
Who Should Apply Anyone aged 18+ with a phone and internet connection. Whether you are an aspiring content creator, a seasoned storyteller, a meme maker, or someone looking for the perfect excuse to post, this challenge is for you. No prior experience required.
Themes Participants can choose from four broad themes and adapt them to either competition:

- GRWM (Get Ready With Me) (e.g., GRWM for Adobe University Hackathon, GRWM for TVS Credit E.P.I.C. Finals)
- What's in My Bag? (e.g., What's in My Bag: Adobe Edition, My TVS Credit E.P.I.C. Survival Kit)
- Explain It to... (e.g., Explaining Adobe University Hackathon to my parents, Explaining why everyone should apply)

- Pick a theme from the list.
- Create an original Instagram Reel, LinkedIn post, or YouTube Short.
