Back in July GoPro announce a way for you toget pay for the videos you shootvia a licensing vena portae , but now it ’s upping the ante . WithGoPro Awards , an ongoing competition compensate you for the photos and videos you shoot . $ 500 for a picture , $ 1,000 for a raw video clip , and $ 5,000 for a telecasting edit . Not risky .
Generally this kind of thing creeps me out because there are a lot of contest that basically slip hoi polloi ’s photos / videos in exchange for peanuts , so I asked GoPro about the hunky-dory print and astonishingly it ’s not too sorry . Here ’s what they tell :
“ We receive the world non exclusive distribution and monetization right wing to the content in sempiternity with the power to cut , ” GoPro ’s rep told me . “ In English this means they can still do whatever they desire with the contentedness but we can employ the depicted object for anything GoPro touch on and we will pay them consequently . ”
I require if the swag money was alternatively of the licensing fees neophyte would get if GoPro just buy the exposure / video instantaneously . They clarified that it ’s “ IN ADDITION TO . We will pay them the reward for their meekness and then if we apply their capacity for other merchandising purposes down the route involving some form of monetization or licensing fee , the individual would get that money to boot and freestanding from the prize . ”

To enter , you upload your photo / video togopro.com/awardsand hope for the best . you’re able to still upload it to your own YouTube channel , Instagram , or what have you , because it ’s non - exclusive . They ’re not just looking for death defy stuff , either . Categories include : Action , Adventure , Animals , Family , Sports , Motorsports , Music , Science + How - To , and Travel . They ’ve allocated $ 5 million a year for these prizes .
Basically , the takeout food here is that GoPro has a lot of John Cash to throw around . It already fundamentally has the best advertising because its own cameras create the adds , and it has gazillion of mass already using these photographic camera to do awesome motherfucker .
So , who ’s go to upload some stuff ? [ GoPro Awards ]
