Prefer to watch and learn? Check out the GoPro Tips Page on YouTube. Every previous GoPro Awards participant started just like this—at square one. They got a camera, started planning adventures with the people they love and brought their GoPro along for the ride.

Any photo, raw clip, or video edit you captured with a GoPro is great to submit to our Anything Awesome challenge. Guidelines vary for other challenges, so take a look at our Challenges Overview.

100% GOPRO PHOTOS For GoPro Awards, submit the unedited .jpg file shot on your GoPro. The file size needs to be greater than 1MB.

100% GOPRO RAW CLIPS Submit the unedited raw .mp4 file shot on your GoPro. Submissions must be shot in HD or higher resolution (720p, 1080p, 1440p, 2.7K, 4K, 5.3K). The higher the resolution, the better.

100% GOPRO VIDEO EDITS The best video edits invite viewers to connect with the story by connecting with one central character, or at most, a small group. Establish the story’s location early on. Then build moments of tension and action toward an apex. Add a fun, humorous, breathtaking (or curveball) conclusion. Check out the GoPro Channel to get a good feel for GoPro’s storytelling style. Every single clip within a video edit submission needs to be 100% shot on GoPro.

You can submit your 100% GoPro photos and videos on our Awards page at gopro.com/Awards or using the GoPro Quik app. In the app, select the media you want to submit and hit the ‘Share’ icon in the top right corner. Select ‘Submit to GoPro Awards’ from the dropdown menu.
