Insta360 Launches Insta360 Awards, Rewarding 360 Creators Up to $2,000

By on September 20, 2017 | Press Release

Leading 360-degree camera maker Insta360 today launched Insta360 Awards, a program to reward and promote the best 360 content from around the world.

Insta360 Awards will collect submissions of raw 360 photos and videos, as well as content edited using Insta360-specific techniques like FreeCapture and bullet time. The best content will be rewarded with cash prizes of up to $2,000, global exposure and opportunities for further collaboration.

“360-degree photos and videos are new forms of storytelling, and they’re being defined today by the creators who pick up a camera and start sharing,” said JK Liu, Insta360 founder and CEO. “With Insta360 Awards, we’re excited to reward the creators who inspire us, and to promote their work to show the world what 360 is all about.”

How it works

The Insta360 Awards program accepts 360 photo and video submissions on any theme, from epic aerial videography, to adrenaline-fueled adventure sports, to simple human moments. Edited content, such as a montage of 360 videos, or 360 videos converted into fixed-frame content using FreeCapture, is also eligible for awards.

After submitting content via the Insta360 Awards page, creators will be put into consideration for two award tiers. Pioneer Awards will be rewarded on an unlimited, rolling basis, with winning videos receiving $150 USD, and winning photos receiving $100 USD.

A quarterly Legend Award of $2,000 USD will be rewarded to submissions that rise above the rest with their exceptional artistry or subject matter.
