GoPro CEO and founder Nicholas Woodman had this to say about the announcement:
“We are continuously in awe of the quality, ingenuity, and overall WOW factor of the videos captured by the GoPro Community. The Million Dollar Challenge shines a spotlight on some of the most passionate creators from around the world and gives us a way to celebrate their amazing work, while also awarding them cash. This is always my favorite video of the year, and we’re excited to see what happens when our customers crank it up to 11 with their Hero11 Black and Mini cameras.”
Submissions close on April 2, and the final Hero11 Black / Mini Million Dollar Challenge highlight reel will be released later that month.
The video premiere will be the first time entrants learn whose video clips are chosen, and in turn, who will be getting their equal share of that $1 million dollar prize pool!
