Are you someone who enjoys exploring great places to eat and drink? Do you like to capture your experience on video to share on Google Maps? Then this challenge is for you!
Recently, we made it easier to discover an area with the addition of videos in the Explore tab. Videos are a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the vibe of a place and find out if that coffee shop down the street is the right fit for you.
To inspire your creativity, we’re kicking off a new food and drink community challenge; here is your chance to earn a shiny Connect badge. A special shoutout to Local Guides @Mikeinthefalls and @PattyBlack for their ideas to have a challenge around videos and food!

To share a link to your video, open Google Maps on your computer. In the top left, click on the hamburger menu and select Your contributions. Choose Photos, find the video you want to share, and click on it. In the top right, click the three dots and then Share. Copy the link and paste it in your comment!

Find some great tips on how to create helpful and engaging videos in Guiding Star @AZ_2021’s post “Food and Drink: Features to Film Videos for Google Maps.” For more insight into what makes a good video for Google Maps, check out the Q&A with Googler Masa.

Very nice challenge, dear Googler @InaS.
Very meaningful challenge too.
And for your kind information, I already have a Pub video which has more than 384,000 views.
It is really interesting to study the pattern of videos at different destinations.
Assure you that I shall try my best to bring some clip to life soon.
Thanks for this opportunity.
Greetings from Bangalore, India.

🙏🙏.
EDIT:
Though I could find a video (out of 1089 total video contributions) with over 134,000 views, I couldn't locate the one with 384,000 views on a quick search to publish the link... I'm sorry about that. I shall search again.
🙏

Awesome!! This is truly a challenge, and I love it.
Thank you @InaS and team!
I just posted my video: Video in Las Cuartetas (edit: apparently the sharing link that the app gives for the video doesn't work right, but you can check it on my profile: https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101260227370224362606/)
This is my favorite pizzería in Buenos Aires, it's in a street and area with many pizzerías with the most authentic Buenos Aires-style pizza: Thick crust and LOTS of cheese. This challenge was a nice excuse to go again.
My video is a compilation of other videos, to showcase more aspects of the place. Here's how I tried to make it helpful:
