After sifting through entries from over 118 countries and regions, tech giant DJI and its social platform SkyPixel have announced the winners of the 2021 SkyPixel Creative Video Contest.
The annual drone photo and video contest organized by SkyPixel is always a big deal for content creators. But DJI’s product portfolio spans well beyond flying machines. Last year, the company decided to celebrate the ever-improving imaging quality of its handheld products by organizing the SkyPixel Creative Video Contest. Now, the winners of prizes totaling nearly $46,000 have been revealed.
SkyPixel Creative Video Contest 2021 winners
The grand prize winner is travel filmmaker Sergio Mota who showcased an aesthetically stunning Italian adventure in the work titled “TUSCANY Through ART.”
The video takes you on a journey across the masterpieces from Friedrich, Dalí, and Van Gogh, catching glimpses of European art history and celebrating the beauty of humanity. “The whole video is built with three pillars: art, color, and the artists,” Sergio says. “I wanted to show how various artists create a fantasy world full of color through the emblematic landscapes of Tuscany.”
Judging committee member Mike Bishop calls the piece “one of the most unique and creative short films I’ve seen and a clear winner, in my opinion.”

The pro video prize has been bagged by travel photographer Daniel, aka DCoedel. His piece, “Feeling África,” leverages the remarkably dynamic relationship between nature and civilization to illustrate an impactful yet emotional side of the continent.
“The inspiration to create this video was to transmit to people the beauty of a continent that for many is unexplored,” DCoedel says. “People usually travel more to other continents, but Africa has something special that makes it unique.”
