Since launching the first YouTube NextUp, we’ve been working to supercharge the careers of partners from around the world, and now we’re expanding the program even further. Today we’re kicking off two new YouTube Next Creator Programs to highlight the stars of tomorrow on YouTube today: YouTube Next Chef and YouTube Next Trainer.
Each program will have sixteen participants who take part in a three month virtual class held on Google+ Hangouts. Our chefs and trainers will each receive an equipment kit worth more than $5,000, mentoring from industry leaders, filming and editing lessons and more than $10,000 worth of promotion on YouTube. Here’s more info on each and an introduction from our hosts.
YouTube Next Chef
Crafty in the kitchen? Love sharing your family’s recipes with the world? With YouTube Next Chef, you could be selected to learn filmmaking tailored to cooking videos. Shea Hess of Hungry in Brooklyn will be your host.
YouTube Next Trainer
Personal health comes in many forms, and we’re interested in your unique approach. From yoga to 100-yard sprints, this program will help you develop filmmaking talents specifically for fitness videos. Sarah Dussalt ofSarahsFabChannel will be your host.
How to apply
Starting today through October 25, partners from Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States can apply at youtube.com/NextChef and youtube.com/NextTrainer, which also includes all rules and details.
We’ll be back on November 9 to introduce you to the selected chefs and trainers, as we keep working on ways to help YouTube Partners turn their passion into their career.

Launching the MyYouTube Contest: Subscribe, Vote for your favorite celebrities and win prizes
We’re launching a new contest on YouTube which gives you a chance to show your favorite artists just how much you really love them. The MyYouTube contest has just launched and all your favourite Indian celebrities need your help to win.
Over the next two months, your favourite celebrities from bollywood, singers, models and popular TV stars will compete to score the most points on the MyYouTube Channel. But they only score points when YOU subscribe to their channels and share with your friends.
So what’s in it for you?
By subscribing to your favorite artists’ channels, you’ll get their latest videos delivered straight to your YouTube homepage. It’s a quick and easy way for you to stay up-to-date on their music videos and behind-the-scenes news.
On the MyYouTube Channel, you can flip through all the participating artist profiles, watch their exclusive videos, and even find out what YouTube channels they, themselves, like to watch.
And did we mention all the prizes?
Every artist is giving out several prizes to users who score points for them in the contest. That’s a lot of prizes, ranging from autographed t-shirts and CD’s to fully-loaded ipod shuffles and concert tickets. The winners will be announced in the week of May 2, 2011.
How to score points:
You can earn an artist up to 7 points by doing the following from the MyYouTube Channel:
1. Subscribe to the artist’s YouTube channel. (1 point)
2. Subscribe to any of the artist’s four recommended channels. (1 point for each recommended channel)
3. Share to your Facebook and/or Twitter accounts. (1 point each)
You can view the points you have scored for an artist, as well as that artist’s total points to date, next to the artist’s thumbnail on the left side of the page.
These artists can’t win without your help, so head on over to youtube.com/myyoutube and start subscribing now!
