![]() ![]() The Spotlight Challenges program, set to start rolling out next month, is in addition to the “millions per month” the company says it pays to creators globally for top-performing Spotlight Snaps. When the TikTok-like section debuted in November 2020, Snapchat said it paid out more than $1 million per day to the top-performing videos in June, the company reduced the amount it pays overall because the program was generating too much “copycat content,” Snap CEO Evan Spiegel said last week at an investment conference. Spotlight Challenges will give Snapchat users the chance to win cash prizes for creating posts in a wide range of categories, like “Best Trick Shot” and ”Impressions Challenge.” The total prize amount for individual Spotlight Challenges will typically range from $1,000 to $25,000, although Snap said it may occasionally pay out a larger sum for a particular challenge. The minimum prize a Snapchat user can win in a Spotlight Challenge is $250.
