Fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) awarded to Ryan Ng for the “YouTube New Wave” movement and the video “Money Killed YouTube, Here’s How We Fix It”. Ng’s autobiographical video essay is a vision for the future of media, in which a ‘new wave’ of story-driven YouTube creators disrupts the traditional media ecosystem and prevailing sensationalism of YouTube to become the next generation of filmmakers. In the last year, the hashtag #youtubenewwave has been tagged in over 2,400 videos from 796 YouTube channels, seeding a movement that continues to gain recognition in the independent media landscape.
