The Melt & Pour Soap YouTube Collaboration Event

Last Updated: July 1st 2026

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a YouTube Collaboration Event?

A YouTube Collaboration Event is a coordinated project where multiple creators produce and share videos on a shared theme or topic, often releasing them at the same time or within a set period. This type of event encourages creators to work together, cross-promote each other’s channels, and engage with a wider audience, fostering a sense of community while boosting visibility for everyone involved.

YouTube Collaboration Events offer viewers and subscribers a unique opportunity to discover new creators and fresh content that aligns with their interests. By participating in these events, viewers are introduced to a wider variety of perspectives, creative styles, and expertise, making the viewing experience more engaging and diverse.

Additionally, these events help foster a stronger sense of community among viewers, as they can join in conversations, share feedback, and connect with like-minded people across multiple channels. For loyal subscribers, there’s also the benefit of being the first to access new content and participate in real-time premieres, ensuring they never miss out on the latest trends or discussions.

When will the YouTube Collaboration Event be held?

The Melt and Pour Soap YouTube Collaboration Event will be hosted by The Dancing Soap Dish YouTube Channel and will take place on Wednesday July 22nd, 2026 at 7pm Standard Daylight Time (GMT/UTC -05:00). This time has been adjusted for daylight savings which a majority of the US is now observing.

When is the deadline for submitting a collaboration video?

The deadline for video submission is 24 hours before the event, so 7pm Central Daylight Time (GMT/UTC -05:00) on Tuesday July 21st, 2026.

However you are free to upload and send in your video link any time before this date. This will build a sense of anticipation and excitement as the event date approaches.

Videos will appear in the playlist in the order that I receive them.

What is the theme of the Melt and Pour Soap YouTube Collaboration Event?

The theme of the event is “Christmas in July” where you can share a Christmas-themed melt and pour soap project.

Suggestions for Christmas in July projects include (but are not limited to):

  • One of your favourite melt and pour soap projects re-created in Christmas colours
  • Demonstating a melt and pour soap technique using Christmas colours
  • Sharing your favourite Christmas soap mould
  • Sharing your favourite Christmas soap scents and fragrances
  • Winter scenes and snowscapes

What type of video should I make?

OPTION 1

A video tutorial that provides a step-by-step demonstration of a melt and pour soap project with a comprehensive explanation using audio (music and/or voiceover), text, or a combination of both. 

OPTION 2

A video showcase of a melt and pour soap project you have made with a basic explanation of how you made it using audio (music and/or voiceover), text, or a combination of both.

Whichever option you choose, be sure to include the following:

  • An acknowledgement of the collaboration event in your video’s introduction.
  • An invitation to your viewers to watch the other videos in the collaboration playlist via a link in your video description.
  • An explanation of how your project is connected to the event’s theme.

A 9:16 landscape video format is recommended.

Please be advised that The Dancing Soap Dish reserves the right to make final decisions regarding the inclusion of content in the collaboration event. To ensure your participation, please refrain from submitting material that may be considered controversial or inappropriate, such as content involving contentious melt and pour soap additives, unverified health claims, political themes, copyright infringements, explicit imagery, or offensive language. The Dancing Soap Dish may remove your video from the collaboration event playlist at any time at its discretion.

How do I submit my collaboration video?

  1. Upload your video to your YouTube channel.
  2. Include the phrase ‘Collaboration with @thedancingsoapdish’ in your video title.
  3. Include a link to the collaboration event playlist in your video description. Full Link for cutting and pasting: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU7g_OPR3xNg
  4. Schedule your video to publish as public on Wednesday July 22nd, 2026 at 7pm Standard Daylight Time (GMT/UTC -05:00).
  5. **VERY IMPORTANT** Check the ‘Set as Premier’ box (under the scheduled time).  Checking this box means your video thumbnail will be visible on your channel, but the video will not be able to be viewed by anyone until the scheduled time.
  6. Email your YouTube video link to Samantha at [email protected] and it will be added to the collaboration event playlist.
  7. Promote the event on your socials (optional but appreciated).

NB Videos will appear in the playlist in the order that I receive them.

Do I have to use the YouTube ‘Set as Premier’ function?

Yes, checking that ‘Set as Premier’ box is what makes the whole collaboration event possible.  Without it, your video link is not publicly available to be added to the collaboration event playlist.

Please be aware that your video thumbnail image will be visible on your YouTube channel before the video is made viewable to the public.  You may want to use a teaser image (which you can change later) so as not to spoil any surprise.

Can I collaborate from another social media platform?

Unfortunately, no.  The event will only be held on YouTube at this stage.

Do I have to have an existing YouTube channel?

You do need to have a YouTube channel, but it does not have to be an established one.  In fact, why not set one up and participate in the event?  Instructions for setting up a YouTube channel can be found online.

I can’t participate this time around.  Will there be more collaboration events in the future?

Yes!  We are planning more events in the future.
