Cyber Safe Yuva Reel Contest 2026: official rules and possible rewards

By AiCoN | Published 17 October 2026 | Sources checked 17 October 2026 | Scoped recheck 24 October 2026

The official MyGov task page invites reels for I4C’s Cyber Safe Yuva Reel Contest 2026. Its terms describe eligibility for Indian citizens aged 18 or above, subject to organiser-linked award restrictions. Selected top-three entries may receive I4C/Cyber Dost goodies, a certificate and a memento; these are not guaranteed rewards. The page displays 15 November 2026, 11:45 PM IST as the end date. Rechecked 24 October 2026: a Login to Participate control was visible, but account-level submission was not tested. No entry was submitted.

Good to knowThe displayed gratification lists no cash prize - possible rewards are goodies, a certificate, a memento and a possible feature on I4C/Cyber Dost channels, and I4C decides the number of winners by entry quality. Once submitted, an entry cannot be withdrawn. By entering, you grant I4C, Cyber Dost, MHA and MyGov non-exclusive, royalty-free rights to use, edit, adapt, translate and distribute your reel for the stated awareness, educational, promotional, archival and non-commercial government purposes, with acknowledgement wherever appropriate.

What to make

A vertical (9:16) reel of up to 90 seconds; MP4 is preferred by the official technical parameters
Hindi, English or any Indian regional language; subtitles allowed
Topics: digital arrest scams, investment scams, KYC fraud, phishing, malicious apps/APK files, fake job scams, QR/UPI fraud, social media fraud, identity theft, deepfakes or online harassment
Keep the facts accurate and end with a clear safety takeaway: Stop. Think. Then Take Action. For financial cyber fraud, call 1930 and report on cybercrime.gov.in
No watermarks or unauthorised third-party material. The terms allow third-party music or footage only when owned by you or used with the right permission/licence. AI-assisted content is allowed only where organisers permit it, with disclosure where required.

Rewards

Selected top 3 may receive (at the organisers’ discretion): I4C/Cyber Dost goodies, a certificate of recognition and a memento
Selected reels may be featured on official I4C, Cyber Dost and government digital platforms

Video guides

We searched YouTube on 19 October 2026 for a step-by-step entry video for this contest in English and in Malayalam. We could not verify one that covers this contest and the current MyGov portal, so we are not linking any rather than risk an unrelated video.

We read the contest page and all the terms and conditions on 17 October 2026. We did not submit an entry.
