SHOOFtv Troops is an exciting competition that will pit teams or “troops” of students against each other to win a mega-prize (to be announced). The SHOOFtv troops, consisting of 3-5 students each, win points by completing challenges on a weekly basis. Challenges include things such as producing mini video clips, covering SHOOFtv events and many more. The SHOOFtv troop earning the most number of points in the end wins the mega prize. However, all troops walk away with exciting participation prizes too.
This event gives students not only a chance to win exciting prizes, but to also represent their schools and gain experience and showcase their talent to a wider audience.
Eligibility:
* Troopers should currently be enrolled in a school/college/university in the U.A.E.
* Trooper must be of age 13 and above. Those between 13-17years should also have written consent of their guardians.
* Troopers who register directly to SHOOFtv instead of through their school should also have written consent of the school.
* All troopers participating in a troop should be of the same school/college/university.
* A troop can consist of minimum 3 troopers and maximum 5 troopers.
* Trooper must have a SHOOFtv account. Troopers can register free at www.shooftv.com
In addition, there are Junior Brand Ambassadors (JBAs) to help coordinate between the Troops and SHOOFtv. JBAs are responsible coordinating tasks, assisting and promoting their Troops and campus. Like the Troops, JBAs will also have challenges and tasks to complete and the JBA with the most points and spunk stands to win the grand prize and title of 'Best SHOOFtv Junior Brand Ambassador'. However, all participating JBAs walk away with consolation prizes.
Eligibility:
* JBAs should currently be enrolled in a school/college/university in the U.A.E.
* JBA must be of age 13 and above. Those between 13-17years should also have written consent of their guardians.

* JBAs must have a SHOOFtv account. JBAs can register free at www.shooftv.com
