The fifth iteration of GoPro’s Million Dollar Challenge is now open, with the action camera brand giving away a million bucks to amateur film makers who manage to capture footage of life that are so epic that they’re selected to be featured on the HERO11 showreel.

To take part and get your name in the frame, you need to grab a GoPro HERO11 Black or HERO11 Black Mini, and get filming some of life’s most stunning and memorable moments. Then simply submit your best unedited, raw video clips here. And this year you can also submitting content through the GoPro Quik App.

If your footage makes the final cut you will received a tasty slice of $1,000,000, which will be equally divided between everyone whose material is featured.

The challenge (and the reward) is open to people right across the planet. Don’t hang around, though, because entries strictly close at 7:59am GMT on 3 April 2023. The final HERO11 Black + Mini Million Dollar Challenge highlight reel will be released later that month.

And for a further taste of the kind of unique action and GoPro are looking for, here is a reminder of what made the trade last year, when entrants were filming their fantastic footage on the GoPro HERO10 [https://www.t3.com/reviews/gopro-hero-10-black].
