Provided is a video distribution system with which it is possible to improve the motivation of participants with respect to an event that is distributed as a recorded video. A video distribution system (1) is connected via a network (NT) to user terminal devices (4) used by each user, and distributes a recorded video, serving as a video obtained by recording the status of a game event in which a plurality of participants (P) participate, to the user terminal devices (4). Further, the video distribution system (1) stores award data (AD) that are described in such a way that the recorded video and an award amount set for the game event are associated with one another. Furthermore, the video distribution system (1) increases the award amount in response to selection of an increase option (54) executed by each user, by way of the user terminal device (4), in such a way as to be associated with the recorded video, and determines the individual award amount to be granted to a target participant P on the basis of the award amount at the end of a predetermined period.
