The GoPro team has once again chosen 3 winners to award a set of cameras to. Without further ado, they are:

GoPro - Start Em' Early!

Roof Diving! (snow, speedos, AND MORE!)

Now for the upcoming rounds, lets see some creativity. Simply photoshopping a GoPro onto a picture you pulled off of Google Images takes no time and effort. We want to see you earn that camera, like the Roof Diving guy above. We are going to open things up and GoPro will select their favorite from the top 10 rated entries, so that it's not strictly a matter of who got the most votes. Also remember we can see if you cheat the votes, so that'll get you straight disqualified.

One last thing, if you want to win something, at least spell it right ;) "GoPro"

Good luck!! https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/mediacontests/main/cid/83/

i thought you guys were doing that from the beginning...

makes sense though, the winners are always so weak. I mean how is a sinking 4x4 better than a 60 ft slip and slide?

I can guarantee you 100% the 2nd entry isnt photoshopped. Its a doll in doll clothes I found in my sisters room. I set it on my ski boots and skis an put it ontop of my run-in in my backyard set-up :)

This is kinda lame because the NS judges are not picking the best of the top 10 like i thought they said, they are just picking the top 3 that are voted, unless they are things from videos that they just took like in round 2, entries 3 and 4.
But again the NS folk are letting us down, clearly they dude jumping off a roof is funny but who would want to watch that as an edit... just think about it. Also why does having a doll in some ski boots win you a go pro? This would not be a great use of a go pro... again why would the NS staff pick this? well its simply because they are just picking the top 3, not what they think are the best.

the first one was not deserved. That kid made numerous fake accounts.

Sorry that your entry didn't get picked, and yes I can see who your real account is, but these were the choices of the GoPro reps, and actually not of our staff. They have the right to choose whoever they want, and if none of the top 5 are truely standing out then they choose the top 3. We've expanded to the Top 10 because people are simply voting the popular entries to top and limiting some more creative entries.

did you guys turn off the "top rated" page? it seems like a good idea, might discourage people from voting everything down.

Thank you so much for clearing this up. I was just wondering how this voting was working and this helped. And I just want to say i dont have anything against NS, in fact i really love them, it just seemed that the system that they said was being used was not working out.

Hey I was just wondering, are all the cams gonna ship out together once the last round ends? or is it just gonna be random?
