Are you a competitive person? Have you always wanted to be on reality TV? Do you just want to make friends in a super unique environment? Apply for Survivor Vancouver 3 to compete for a $100 prize!
Survivor is coming to UBC this fall in the form of a fanmade game! Whether you are a lifelong Survivor fan or you've never heard of it at all, you are welcome to apply. Casting has just opened up for our third season!
What will this look like?
Throughout the course of the game you'll have the opportunity to compete in a variety of fun challenges. The losers of this challenge will be eligible to be voted out at Tribal Council and eliminated from the competition.
You'll strategize with the other players, making alliances with them, and backstabbing them all the way to the finals where you will have a chance to win a $100 prize.
We'll also film footage of the game, edit them into episodes and upload them to Youtube so you'll be able to watch it all back in the future!
Expect a roughly 2-3 hour time commitment per week for challenges and Tribal Councils dependent on participants' availability and schedules for the week - usually during the evening/at night or on weekends. However, meeting with the other players and strategizing is not included in this estimate so consider that as well.
Who can apply?
You must be a UBC student. That is pretty much the only requirement.
Whether you're an incoming first-year or a grad student you are absolutely welcome to apply. If you are on co-op you may also apply.
Commuting students are more than welcome to apply as well! However, keep in mind that the majority of events will not be during a school day/late on school nights, so you may have to stay a little later or come to campus.
When is this going on until?
Some upcoming dates to note:
Applications Due - September 4th
Final Interviews - September 9th
Game Starts - September 15th
You can expect the game to run for around 10 weeks ideally ending right before or very early December (well before Finals).
Other Information
Are we an official AMS club? Nope, at least not yet. We have a very small production team as of right now and we'll be operating independently as we start out. Perhaps once we get a little bigger we'll look into it more!
Is there any fee we have to pay? To help cover the costs of equipment and the prize money, we do ask those who are cast to pitch in $10. However, don't let this deter you! If you would like to opt out just let us know, we could just use the extra help in running this game for you.
