> Post your video using #NFB20 on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok.
> In the same post, tag three others to participate, too.

>    - On Facebook, tap the “Create Post” button, then “Photo/Video.”
>    You'll then see a listing of all your recent photos and videos. Add a brief
>    bit of text, include #nfb20, and tag your friends. Finally, check the “View
>    Privacy” button to be sure that the post is set to “Public.” (We won’t see
>    your post if that setting only shows it to your friends!)
>    - On Twitter, you can attach your video using the “add photos or
>    video” button that can be found on twitter.com just after the “Tweet“
>    text edit field. iPhone and Android Twitter users will have a similar
>    option after selecting the “new tweet” button. In addition to your video
>    and brief bit of text, be sure to include #nfb20, and mention your friends’
>    Twitter handles preceded by the @ sign. Remember that your Twitter privacy
