People are getting creative during these challenging times. As a result, a few top camera companies and creators are acknowledging homebound ingenuity. Freelance photographer Jeremy Cohen already won the ultimate reward, the cover shot on a recent edition of the New Yorker after his `quarantine cutie` TikTok clip went viral.
It isn`t just about sharing, or winning. It`s also about community. This is why major companies, from GoPro to Leica, are launching challenges and offering free educational resources as well. The key is to stay inspired and even learn a few new skills. The opportunity to gain exposure, without being exposed, is going to be an ongoing theme these next few months.

GoPro recently launched the #HomePro challenge to reward photographers and videographers confined to their abodes with prizes. From now until April 30th, creators are encouraged to upload their most imaginative homebound content to Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Youtube, or Facebook with the #HomePro and #GoPro hashtags. 5 submissions will be selected every day and the winners will receive their choice of a HERO8 Black or MAX camera plus 5 years of GoPro PLUS.
