The popular social media app doubles down on augmented reality.

Snap Inc. today announced the launch of Lens Creator Rewards, a new program that will reward the creators of top-performing Snapchat Lenses. Every month, Snap will be giving up to $7,200 to the creator of the most popular Lens in the United States, India, and Mexico.

The program is open to both new and existing Lens Studio members across roughly 40 countries. According to Snap, eligible Lenses include everything from virtual try-on experiences to full-blown augmented reality (AR) scenes.
