On 26 November, we're celebrating 10 years of Tandem online and offline, and next to these events happening across the Tandem Community, we also want your stories all over Instagram!

We want to hear from you!

All you need is a camera and an Instagram account.
Those of you who do want to participate but are not on Instagram, worry not, we will do the posting for you: check our instructions further below.

Photos

Share 10 memorable Tandem Moments:
create a digital photo album (you just need to publish 10 photos in an Instagram post as a gallery) and share it on your own insta account.

Make sure to tag us @tandemforculture and use the hashtags, #Tandem10Years #TandemStickTogether so we can repost all contributions on our Tandem Instagram as well.

Videos

Take part in our Tandem 10 years video campaign.

Create a short video in which:
you share why Tandem has been so important to you/how it impacted you in the last 10 years.
You can be as creative as you wish. Use reels/Insta stories or IGTV. Share it on your account.

Make sure to tag us @tandemforculture and use the hashtags, #Tandem10Years #TandemStickTogether so we can repost all contributions on our Tandem Instagram as well.

Some tips for your video production on your mobile phone:

> please film in portrait format

> keep your phone still during filming

> position yourself in a way, that you are visible on the screen from head to waist and keep a distance to the wall/background behind you, so the video has a certain visual depth

If you want to be further away from the mobile sound, please use an extra microphone, so that your sound doesn’t get lost

> please choose a quiet environment (unless your story needs noise :))

> please take care that the main light source is not behind you but in your front and behind the camera

> replay your video and see if the recording worked.

Instagram Video Formats & Lengths

Reel: 9:16 (1080 X 1920) or vertically full screen. Reels can be either 15 or 30 seconds in length. By default, Instagram Reels are 15 seconds long.

Insta Story video: 9:16 (1080 X 1920) or vertically full screen. Videos on Instagram stories can only be 15 seconds long. However, there’s an easy workaround to this limitation: videos longer than 15 seconds will automatically be split up into separate segments, and all can be uploaded at once.

IGTV: videos can be between 15 seconds and 10 minutes in length for most users. Verified accounts and accounts with a large follower count can post IGTV videos that are up to 60 minutes in length.

Livestream Insta video can be as long as 1 hour.

Regular Instagram videos can be up to a minute in length.

If you don’t use Instagram

Please send your photos or videos to Egle (Kryzanauskaite@mitost.org) via wetransfer.com (up to 2GB) and make sure you include an accompanying text explaining the images.

We’re looking forward to seeing your memorable moments!
