Dare Junkies is a new video sharing website with a difference. Each month it runs a competition where video creators are given dares in the form of challenges by Dare Junky users. Video creators must then go out and film the dare to take part in the competition. The top ten winners each month will split a cash prize of $5000.

Dare Junkies has only just launched in beta so is a little short of video and doesn't look like the best designed site on the net but co-creator Ben Bascol (who is a veteran of the entertainment industry) reminds everyone that "we are limited beta - a lot more features are going to be rolled out in the New Year," in an interview with NewTeeVee.

Ben Bascol goes on to say that "when users finally see really creative work posted it will only bolster their imaginations and drive to create something better and truly kick in artistic users' competitive energy."
