SAN
MATEO, Calif., Jan. 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, GoPro (NASDAQ: GPRO)
announced its 'GoPro Line of the Winter' video contest, inviting
skiers and snowboarders around the world to submit their best
single-clip, GoPro-captured descents to compete for cash awards
totaling $120,000 and the opportunity
to be featured on GoPro's social channels.
Each submission must be a single, unedited clip, shot on GoPro
and captured by the skier or snowboarder themselves. To be
eligible, the clip must be shared on social media using the
#GoProLineOfTheWinter hashtag and submitted to GoPro Awards via the
GoPro Quik app or at GoPro.com/Awards. Individuals may submit as
many videos as they like, with each video serving as one
submission.
"In the hands of inspired athletes, GoPros have captured some of
the most insane ski and snowboard lines we've ever seen — from
Travis Rice's incredible pillow line
descents to Colby Stevenson's
Million Dollar Challenge-Winning cliff drop," says Nick Woodman, GoPro CEO and founder. "With the
GoPro Line of the Winter challenge, we're giving skiers and
snowboarders the chance to share their awesomeness with the world
and earn cash awards from GoPro that can help them pursue their
passions further."
A judging panel of GoPro-sponsored snow athletes — Olympic
snowboarding champions Jamie
Anderson and Sage Kotsenburg,
eight-time X-Games skiing slopestyle medalist Tom Wallisch, three-time Freeride World Tour
runner-up Hedvig Wessel, and 16
year-old Teton Gravity Research film phenom Kai Jones — will judge the submissions based on
athletic performance, video-capture quality and overall 'wow
factor.'
From January to April, $10,000
will be awarded to a skier and $10,000 awarded to a snowboarder each month for
that month's best ski and snowboard line, totaling $80,000 for eight, next-level single-clip GoPro
videos. In May, both a skier and snowboarder will be announced as
winners of the 'GoPro Line of the Winter' and each of them will be
awarded a $20,000 prize.
Participants can submit videos captured on any generation of
GoPro camera, however the new HERO12 Black camera, combined with
the new Max Lens Mod 2.0 accessory, makes for the ultimate ski or
snowboard POV camera solution thanks to the wider-than-ever 177°
field-of-view they enable. This means you and your audience can see
and feel more of the terrain, athleticism and speed in your GoPro
videos than ever before.
