Breaking News Update

Cityvibe just got a major upgrade.

Now you don't have to wait for a bounty to appear to report what's happening around Austin. Our new Breaking News feature lets Spotters submit videos of real-time events as they happen — no prompt required.

Whether it's a street closure, sudden storm, major play at a local game, or something unexpected unfolding in your neighborhood, you could earn a cash prize if your footage gets accepted.

You can submit one video per category at a time:

  • 🚨 Crime
  • 🌧️ Weather
  • 🚗 Traffic Incidents
  • 📍 Events
  • ⚡️ Breaking News (anything urgent or unusual)
  • 🏈 Sports

See it. Film it. Submit it.

Be the first on the scene — and get rewarded for it.
