SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro, Inc.
(NASDAQ: GPRO) is putting up $1,000,000 to celebrate the creativity and
passion of the GoPro-owner community with the GoPro Million Dollar
Challenge. Open exclusively to owners of HERO8 Black and MAX
cameras, the GoPro Million Dollar Challenge will award an equal
share of $1,000,000 to entrants whose
video clips are included in the HERO8 Black + MAX highlight video
to be released in late January 2020.
Creators can enter now through January 12,
2020 to be eligible for inclusion in the Challenge
video.
"HERO8 Black and MAX make it so easy to capture
professional-quality footage, it's a no brainer for us to reward
our customers for shooting our highlight video for us," said GoPro
Founder and CEO Nick Woodman. "Our
customers are the heartbeat of our brand, and the GoPro Million
Dollar Challenge is our chance to give back and show our
gratitude."
The first GoPro Million Dollar Challenge was in 2018 and gave
the GoPro community the chance to be featured in the HERO7 Black
highlight video. The resulting video showcased 56 creators who
received callouts on social media and just over $17,800 each.
After getting to know the awardees, GoPro realized the true
impact the GoPro Million Dollar Challenge has on its community:
"Being awarded for the Million Dollar Challenge completely
changed my life," said 2018 Million
Dollar Challenge Awardee Steven Donovan (better known as
@es_dons). "It allowed me to have a financial cushion to continue
to chase my passion, and it put my work in front of the camera
company I've dreamed of working with since I purchased the original
GoPro HD HERO 8 years ago."
The first step to participate in the GoPro Million Dollar
Challenge is to purchase a HERO8 Black or MAX camera and start
filming! To learn more, visit GoPro.com.
