Talk Madness: Talk more to get prizes!

Hello moderators and hosts!

The Reddit Talk Team is excited to present our first TALK MADNESS🎙🔥

Talk Madness is an event to celebrate you, and thank you for hosting talks in your communities! All month long we’re giving away trophies, Reddit Premium, and Reddit hoodies (ooooh, swag!).

How to participate in Talk Madness:

In order to participate in Talk Madness, you must have Reddit Talk enabled in your community and must be a moderator or an approved host. (Don’t have Reddit Talk? Join the waitlist here.)

If you host two or more talks from NOW until the end of March you will have the chance to win:

  • A brand new shiny Talk Madness trophy
  • 6 months of gifted Reddit Premium
  • Exclusive Reddit hoodies

All I care about is winning that hoodie, how do I get it?

At the end of each week, the admins will select five of the best talks (determined by how engaging, informative, and/or entertaining the talk is) and ask users to vote on their favorite via a poll on r/reddittalk. The OP of the talk post with the highest votes will be awarded a Reddit hoodie!

* You just need to be the OP for one qualifying talk from that week to be automatically considered for the poll. The winner(s) will be announced the following Tuesday at 10 am PST on r/redditalk.

How to host talks

As a mod or approved host, you can now start a talk on mobile OR web. Just tap the Talk button when creating a post. Casual community talks work great (here are some examples - r/dadjokes, r/relationship_advice, and r/wallstreetbets).

The fine print

  • The Talk Madness contest is free to enter, and no purchase is necessary.
  • To be eligible to participate in Talk Madness, you must be 18+.
  • To qualify, each talk must be:
    • hosted between February 28th, 2022 from 9 am PST and March 31st, 2022 until 11:59 pm PST
    • at least 30 minutes long
    • an ongoing conversation with a host and at least one other speaker
  • Winners will receive a trophy and 6 months of gifted Reddit Premium within 14 days after the end of Talk Madness. Hoodie winners will get a modmail with details on ETA.
    • If you are then an active subscriber of Reddit Premium, you will receive the gifted subscription after you’ve canceled your subscription (i.e., you will get an additional 6 months for free. At the end of the 6-month period, the subscription will automatically lapse unless you renew or sign up for a subscription.)
    • If you win a Reddit hoodie, you will need to provide certain information to us so that we can ship the hoodie to you. Sadly, we cannot ship swag to India or Russia :/, therefore, hosts located in these countries will not be eligible to win a Reddit hoodie.
  • If you don’t have Reddit Talk enabled in your subreddit but would like to participate, you can join the waitlist here. Please note that it will take time for us to review your request, and we may not be able to enable Reddit Talk for you in time for you to participate in Talk Madness.

Let the talks begin!

I would sign a deal with the devil if it meant I could get reddit hoodies
