What to Send
You live here. You see it first. We want the video.
- Accidents & crashes
- Fires
- Police activity
- ICE in public
- Weather & flooding
- Breaking street video
- Community moments
How to Send
- Shoot your video (original, filmed by you, in Hudson County)
- Email it to tips@hudsontv.com with your name, location, and what happened
- Or use the tip form and check the Hudson Content Creators box
- We review everything. If we choose yours, we post it.
How the $200 Winner Is Picked
- We post Hudson Content Creators videos throughout the month
- At month end, we count views only on Hudson TV's own posts — hudsontv.com, our YouTube, our Facebook, our Instagram
- The creator whose video got the most views wins $200 cash
- We announce the winner the first week of the next month
- Ties: Hudson TV picks
What If We Post Your Video but You Don't Win?
You still got your video on Hudson TV — seen by the community, credited to you. The tip-points system still applies. You just didn't have the most views that month. Send another one.
The Rules, Short
- Sending a video does not mean we will post it
- Posting your video does not mean we pay you — only the one monthly views winner gets $200
- One $200 prize per calendar month
- Same incident, multiple senders: we use one file (first or best usable). Duplicates don't compete unless clearly different angle
- By submitting, you give Hudson TV a license to use, edit, and publish your video on our site, social, and video channels — whether or not you win
- Must be 18+. Original video you shot. Scene in Hudson County or sent for Hudson County coverage.
- Views count only on Hudson TV-controlled posts. Not shares by other accounts.
FAQ
Do I get paid just for sending a video?
No. You get paid only if we post it AND it gets the most views that month.
Can I send more than one video?
Yes. Send as many as you want. Each one we post competes separately.
What if five people send the same crash video?
We use one — usually the first or best quality. The rest don't compete unless clearly different angle.
Where do you count views?
Only on Hudson TV posts: hudsontv.com, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram. If someone else shares it, those views don't count.
When do you announce the winner?
First week of the following month.
Can I still earn tip points?
Yes. The $200 is separate from the tip-points system. Both run at the same time.
