Last year, the world's leading gimbal manufacturer Zhiyun launched a global competition for short videos – with a prize fund worth over $100k! The winners have now been announced, which we're pleased to share with you.
Short videos are now the mainstream of the online world. Social media platforms, YouTube and more provide the perfect platform for content creators to post their work and share useful tips and personal experiences.
Innovative brand Zhiyun (who makes some of the best smartphone gimbals) is committed to building its own growth platform for videos, and that's why it launched the ZHIYUN Annual Short Video Contest for video content creators last year. The contest was hosted by Zhiyun, with Nikon as the title sponsor and partners including RØDE, Aputure, YC onion, Desview, SmallRig, iFootage, and Lexar, among others.
The 2022 version of the contest has been successfully concluded, with a total of 1,429 entries submitted to the contest, and 25 groups of entries awarded prizes.
These winning entries were selected by professional judges after assessments in various aspects. The Zhiyun Annual Short Video Contest has now been held four times, attracting over 100,000 international content creators to take part.
