This year, YouTube NextUp is designed to reach more channels than ever! Up to 360 YouTube channels around the world will be selected as winners of NextUp contests to join the NextUp class of 2016. Today we are launching in the US and UK, but check back for additional contests in Tokyo, Sao Paulo, Berlin, Paris, Toronto and Mumbai.
So who’s next up? We’re looking for passionate, motivated and inspiring YouTube creators.1 Sharpen your production skills to tell more compelling stories and receive mentorship from production and channel development professionals, alongside other talented creators.
If you are selected to join the US NextUp class of 2016, you are eligible to receive:
- A $2,500 voucher for production equipment to help you make your video dreams a reality.
