The Big Give Instagram Contest!
Show us your spirit, celebrate The Big Give, and enter for a chance to win a grant to the nonprofit organization of your choice—by creating an awesome photo or video!
Submit your photos and videos before The Big Give begins on October 10 at 10 a.m.!
WHAT DO I NEED? All you need to enter is (1) a filled-out Big Give circle, (2) a creative photo or video, (3) a caption, (4) the hashtag #biggive, and (5) an Instagram account.
HOW DO I ENTER?
- Using a BIG, thick marker, get inspired and fill in the blank on The Big Give circle (available here or below!). Amaze us! Tell us, what will The Big Give do?
- Take a photo or video that includes your circle and shows Big Give spirit. This could be a group of inspiring people, a Columbus hotspot, or a local event—or maybe it’s a photo or video highlighting one of the many amazing places in our community or something that represents your favorite nonprofit’s mission. Get creative!
- Post this photo or video to your personal or your organization’s Instagram account with the hashtag #biggive. Be sure to include a catchy caption!
- Make sure your “profile” settings are marked public so that we don’t miss it! More information.

HOW DO I GET A BIG GIVE CIRCLE?
You can print out your own Big Give circle template (maximum size 11×17) HERE.
Or you can stop by The Columbus Foundation to pick one up while supplies last. (The circles at the Foundation are 21 inches in diameter and have been produced using higher-quality card stock — possibly making for a better photo!)
WHAT ARE THE DETAILS AND RULES?
- Creators of the winning photos or videos will be rewarded with the opportunity to make a grant to one of the 800+ nonprofits in The Giving Store, the Foundation’s digital marketplace.
- All photos and videos meeting all five of the criteria listed above will be considered for the prize(s).
- Winners will be announced through the Foundation’s social media channels in the days and weeks leading up to The Big Give.
- Both individuals and nonprofit organizations may enter the contest.
- Multiple entries are permitted. And encouraged!
