Last summer, the Go-Pro people, makers of those cool, teeny, virtually indestructible action video cameras that everybody and his mother now uses to, you guessed it, shoot action video footage, have decided that customer created content is worth even more than they originally thought.
As of now, the GoPro Awards will pay content creators $500 for a photo, $1,000 for a raw video clip, and $5,000 for an edited clip – and this is prize money in addition to any licensing fees entrants in the contest will be paid.
