GoPro Awards: Million Dollar Challenge Highlight in 4K | HERO9 Black

Did you make the cut?
$1,000,000 on the line.
29,200 clips submitted.
56 creators awarded.
We challenged YOU to capture our #GoProHERO9 Highlight Video for a shot at sharing $1,000,000. We asked you to capture life’s epic moments and show us your corner of the world. The result is two minutes of pure joy, from backyards, the backcountry and beyond.
Our team watched each of the 29,200 clips submitted and selected 56 creators for the final video and their share of the $1 million purse.
While the Million Dollar Challenge is in its third year, 2020 produced the most unique highlight reel GoPro has seen yet. Shelter-in-place restrictions and travel bans resulted in an uplifting ode to the happiness that is always within arm’s reach but is only now getting the attention it deserves.
Congratulations, GoPro Family! You continue to awe and amaze us.

[@siranov6956]

I understand GoPro is going to choose the best most epic shots for this video, but all nearly all the selected clips are just influencers and people who have ties/sponsored by GoPro. It makes it nearly impossible for any relatively normal person to make the cut. The HERO7 MDC is the best in my opinion. It was a good balance of crazy shots and everyday life. Epic video nonetheless!

I think it's not the video clips, It's the music. They showed more places but the music is kinda awful for me. My heartbeat is not in sync with the music, which makes the whole video look just average to watch. Last year was much better - better shots, better music, more energy, better video edits.
