Photographer

If you’re camera-obsessed and always snapping amazing pics at any opportunity, then this one is definitely for you. We’re searching for an incredible photographer who will get a one day exclusive set visit and the chance to take behind-the-scenes photos of the cast and MTV Shuga production.

We want to see how good you are at capturing the fast-paced action of one of SA’s hottest new dramas. So, to enter, we want you to take a photo of an action or movement, upload it to your Instagram and tag it with #MTVShugaPhotographer.

Remember - we won’t be able to see your entry if your account is set to private. If you make our final shortlist, we’ll be in touch with details about round two where we’ll have a new challenge and will pick our winner.

Director

Directing a scene of MTV Shuga is going to put you in charge of the whole Shuga crew and get your work seen by MILLIONS. So, we want to find someone who has a real passion for directing, and is looking for their break.

To show us your skill, we want you to email breaks@mtvbreaks.tv with a link to something you’ve directed and tell us what three important qualities you have that you think you need to succeed as a director.

It doesn’t matter if what you send us is shot on a phone, camera, or whatever you could get your hands on. What we want to see is passion and style.

If you make our final shortlist, we’ll be in touch with details about round two where we’ll give you the final challenge and pick our winner.
