Past Drone Video Contests

The FirePoint C3 Challenge is a competition in which the teams vie for a “final four” phase. The four winning teams collaborate to design and fabricate an integrated drone prototype to be presented to the U.S. Army next year.

Last year, SkyPixel and DJI launched a drone video short film contest with $50,000 up for grabs.
