Since I-95 has become a big proponent of making original video I have donned our GoPro camera more than once but I never imagined it might have another payoff.

And for that matter how about you? If someone in your family has a GoPro video camera, start filming! GoPro is doling out $500 for photos, $1,000 for raw video clips and $5,000 for edited videos, in a range of categories that include family trips, motorsports, action, adventure, music, sports, animals, travel, family, science/how to and "anything awesome."

The contest is open now, and GoPro says it hopes to pay out awards as often as weekly. Get shooting, the latest submissions close middle to the end of November depending on the category.

Here is one of mine and...some really good ones:)
