Citizen journalism website Allvoices.com has launched a cash reward programme for its contributors.

Under the Excellence in Citizen Media Incentive Program, cash incentives will be given out to contributors based on the number of page views that their work generates, an announcement by the site said.

A user will receive $1,000 for every 100,000 page views (up to one million) generated by their submissions, while one million page views will result in an award of $10,000.

Allvoices is encouraging users to promote their work through social bookmarking sites, such as Digg and Reddit, and by commenting on and contributing to other users’ portfolios on the site.

The program is open to work submitted between now and February 19.
