Best Testimonial Competitions
3. 🏆 Best Testimonial Competitions
The Best Testimonial Competition encourages GM and FM members to share inspiring experiences, success stories, and positive community impacts through written and multimedia testimonials.
The program recognizes outstanding testimonials while encouraging members to motivate others, strengthen the HOHY Club community, and promote the Club's mission of "Helping Others Help Yourself!"
The program is conducted twice each year (Semiannual Program).
A. Testimonial Categories
Members may submit testimonials in one of the following categories:
1. Short Testimonial
A brief testimonial describing a personal experience, achievement, or positive feedback about HOHY Club.
2. Full-Page Testimonial
A detailed testimonial sharing a complete story, experience, success journey, or community impact.
3. Multimedia Testimonial Link
A testimonial presented through a link to externally hosted multimedia content, including:
Video

Photographs
Slide presentations
Other creative digital media
Multimedia files are not uploaded to the HOHY Club server. Members must provide a valid link to the externally hosted content.
B. Submission Rules
Each eligible Gold Member (GM) and Fundraiser Member (FM) may submit one Short Testimonial, one Full-Page Testimonial, and up to five (5) Multimedia Testimonial links during each competition period.
Multimedia testimonials must be submitted by providing valid links to externally hosted content. Multimedia files may not be uploaded directly to the HOHY Club server. Members are responsible for ensuring that submitted links remain accessible throughout the competition and voting period.
HOHY Club staff and invited judges will review all submitted testimonials and select the Top 25 testimonials per category to enter the final competition.
Selection will be based on:
• Content quality
• Authenticity
• Community value
• Creativity and presentation
Testimonials must be based on genuine experiences and must not contain false, misleading, or fabricated claims.
Members may receive reasonable assistance with grammar, spelling, translation, or presentation; however, the experience, statements, and claims contained in the testimonial must be genuine and attributable to the submitting member.
HOHY Club reserves the right to reject or remove any multimedia testimonial link that is inaccessible, inappropriate, unsafe, unrelated to the testimonial, or inconsistent with HOHY Club rules.
