Are you a creative entrepreneur? Are you creating content? Do you need more exposure for your brand?
The MARK541 TV Creator Spotlight Contest invites you to share what you do—and how you do it. One winner will receive a 30-minute spot on MARK541 TV on Roku to introduce their brand. It is an opportunity to put your work, your story and your creative process in front of a television audience.
Get up, make your mark
Running November 3–December 15, 2026, this six-week contest celebrates real moments of creating. You might be cooking, teaching art, practicing a dance, painting cowboy boots or developing something entirely your own. You do not need an elaborate production to show the care and imagination behind your work.
Think about the moments people rarely see: testing an idea, learning a technique, preparing your materials or trying again when something does not work. Those everyday steps can help people understand the person behind the brand. Let your video show something genuine about what you make and why it matters to you.
How to enter
Share a video of your real creative process on Instagram or TikTok. This is a video-only contest; photo entries are not accepted.
On Instagram, tag @fivefortyone. On TikTok, tag @Mark 541 live. Include #LeaveYourMark541 so your submission carries the contest hashtag.
Keep your audio original. Use only your own spoken audio or music you created and own. No third-party songs, copyrighted samples or other infringing content. Your own voice explaining what you are making can be a simple, personal way to tell the story.
How the winner is chosen
The public vote will choose the winner among accepted eligible entries. Voting begins after entries close, during the week of December 15. The winner will be announced on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2026.
“New season, new creator” carries that holiday creativity toward a fresh start. A January broadcast date is proposed, not promised; the winner’s feature timing will depend on production arrangements.
A few simple rules
No purchase necessary to enter or win. All rules according to Texas law. Mark 541 reserves the right to reshare all video content provided. Mark 541 reserves the right to refuse any content that does not fit our programming or company narrative. Entries are subject to approval at Mark 541’s sole discretion.
If you have been waiting for the right moment to share your creativity, start with a real one.
It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be you.
