GoPro has awarded $5 million dollars to Million Dollar Challenge award recipients over the past five years. The HERO11 Black + Mini contest window ran for just under 10 weeks from 26 January through to 2nd April 2023.
GoPro added an additional first this year with voiceover narration.
Winners found out if they made the cut by watching the global premiere of the compilation video. I noticed a Qld Reds jersey in the clip so a shoutout to the Reds Rugby fans for picking up a nice mid-season bonus.
In fact, five Australians were selected as winners. Alex Kydd, Jayden Lawson, Max Homer, Alex Mioni, and Dylan DeHaas.
