Now that the series has made its long-awaited debut, its Win a Walk-On Role Contest has officially begun with producers of “Beyond the Gates” inviting eligible students from participating Georgia-based HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) to enter for a chance to appear on the soap opera.

Launched on Monday, February 24 at 2:00 p.m. ET (premiere date and time for “Beyond the Gates”), and running through Friday, March 21 at 11:59 p.m. ET, eligible Georgia HBCU students can visit the official contest website to answer a brief quiz about the show and submit a video of themselves talking about what they enjoyed about the show and what it would mean to them to win a walk-on role. Acting experience and training is not required.

“In addition to launching a groundbreaking series, we, and CBS, wanted to offer an aspirational experience for a young adult interested in exploring all things TV,” said Sheila Ducksworth, president of the CBS Studios/NAACP Venture, in a statement earlier this month announcing the contest alongside Derrick Johnson, president and CEO of the NAACP. Ducksworth and Johhnson are also executive producers at “Beyond the Gates.”

“We also wanted to pay homage to HBCUs — which have been a guiding force for students, families and communities for almost 200 years — and also thank Georgia for availing so many resources to us for the creation of ‘Beyond the Gates,’” continued Ducksworth. “We hope that we may pique interest in young people who may have dreams that lie either in front of or behind the camera, and we’re excited to review all of the submissions from outstanding HBCU students of Georgia, regardless of major, and have our winner spend a day with us on set.”

The current quiz questions are as follows:

1. What family is Beyond the Gates centered around?
2. What fictional community is Beyond the Gates based in?
3. Who are Anita Dupree’s daughters?
4. Who was Hayley friends with prior to a terrible falling out?
5. What happens at the end of Episode 1?

In addition to providing the right answers to the provided questions, submitters will be asked for their first, middle and last name, as well as their date of birth, school email address (must be a valid .edu address), college major, photo number and gender, with the option of sharing social media channels and clubs/organizations they are connected to.

The shows’ executive producers will select a winner, who will have the chance to appear in an episode of the show in the 2025 season. In addition to the potential walk-on experience, the winner will also enjoy a full “Day in the Life” behind-the-scenes experience with the cast and crew as well as a one-on-one conversation with one of the show’s executive producers.

Submissions must accept the official contest rules and the terms and conditions, plus must agree to the Paramount privacy policy, and their terms of use, and acknowledge any submitted content can be used for marking purposes and on any social media channels by CBS/Paramount Global.
