YouTube Spaces, the movie-maker incubator

The winners of the NextUp contest get an opportunity to shoot their next videos in professional facilities and meet established YouTube stars at YouTube's Berlin Space. The up-and-coming video makers and the video sharing site both stand to profit - YouTube has evolved into a serious competitor for broadcast television, seeking to attract more users and producers with high-quality content.
