“Tap into Tahiti,” an NBC Universal and Visa partnership program, will select a creator based on storytelling skills, style, technical expertise and ability to inspire.
Applicants must produce a video in under 30 seconds that describes a gold medal-worthy day at the beach. Use #TapIntoTahiti2024 and tag @NBCOlympics when submitting content on TikTok.
More information, including eligibility requirements, is at www.nbcolympics.com/tapintotahiti. The submission window is today through Nov. 25.
