Help Halifax choose a HUFF show

Two creators, one music and culture recommendation voice and one local night-out storyteller. Each makes a short pre-show recommendation Reel (30 to 45 seconds) and a two-frame Story set with a tracked show link, released 7 to 10 days before the chosen show. The Million Experience on October 3 at the Marquee is the priority show.

View brief

Paid brief

A cash fee, or an approved budget range you quote against. Deliverables and timing are agreed before production starts.

Hosted invitation

Tickets or access. Each opportunity states whether posting is required. An optional invitation has no compulsory output.

Collaboration or pitch

Your existing work for distribution, or a new idea. Each one states whether it is unpaid, funded, or waiting on funding.

How it works

Five steps, in this order. Nothing is made before the terms are written down.

  1. 1

    Introduce yourself or respond to a brief

    A short form on your phone. No account needed.

  2. 2

    Fit and availability

    A conversation about the brief, your work and your dates.

  3. 3

    Terms in writing

    Fee, who pays, when, deliverables and usage. Agreed before anything is made.

  4. 4

    Make and publish

    Your channel, your voice, on the schedule you agreed.

  5. 5

    Payment and the result

    You are paid as agreed and you see how the work performed.

Working together

What you can hold us to, whichever opportunity you take.

Interest is free
Expressing interest costs nothing and is not a promise of work. We never ask for free commissioned content.
Selection is on the brief
The actual brief, your work, local relevance and availability. There is no universal follower threshold.
You can decline
Any opportunity, at any stage, without explanation.
Managers welcome
Agents and managers can apply for you and speak for you. Taking part does not transfer representation.
Terms before work
A written agreement states fee, payer, payment date, expenses, deliverables, revisions, credit, cancellation and usage before work starts.
Your content stays yours
You keep ownership and grant only the licence agreed. Paid ads, sponsor reuse and exclusivity are separate agreements.
Your data
Application data is used for review and matching only. Messages about future opportunities are a separate opt-in.

For festivals, brands and agencies

Creators chosen for the brief and the audience, not pulled from a list.

One brief, agreed deliverables, one release plan across creators.
Halifamous distribution
The newsletter (about 12,000 readers), Instagram (about 12,500 followers) and halifamous.ca.

Questions

Is it free to apply?

Yes. Expressing interest costs nothing, and we never ask for free commissioned content.

Do I need a certain follower count?

No. There is no universal threshold. Selection is on the brief, your work, local relevance and availability. Some briefs will suit a smaller, closer audience better than a large one.

Do I keep my content?

Yes. You keep ownership of what you make and grant only the licence the written agreement names. Paid ads, sponsor reuse and exclusivity are separate agreements.

Can my manager apply for me?

Yes. There is a field for a representative contact on the form. Taking part does not transfer representation.

What happens after I apply?

A person reads it. You get a reference on the confirmation screen, and you hear back by email either way.

How do I update or withdraw?

Reply to any email from us about your application, or write to hello@halifamous.ca with your reference.
