Wemark Partners with ViewBug to Empower the World’s Photographers

Wemark and Viewbug collaborate to expand opportunities for over 2 Million photographers worldwide. This partnership marks an early step in reclaiming power for content creators everywhere.

We’re excited to announce a new partnership with ViewBug, one of the most inspiring photography communities in the world. We’ll collaborate on projects that create opportunities for photographers — from those just starting out, to seasoned professionals looking to expand their reach. With this development, ViewBug joins our friends GuruShots as another key player in our roster of photographer community partnerships.

Founded in California, ViewBug has redefined photography contests and opportunities, making them more accessible, democratic, and fun. With over 5,000 competitions, 50 Million submitted photos, and 1 Billion votes under their belt — not to mention the 500+ esteemed international jurors who have lent their expertise — they’ve created a unique photography community that fosters collaboration and rewards creativity.

Since launching, ViewBug has helped expand and enhance photo contests in a way that truly benefits photographers, their creative processes, and ultimately, their careers. Unlike many other photography competitions — often with exorbitant submission fees that offer little in return — ViewBug’s constant monthly access to some of photography’s most influential professionals makes them nearly unrivaled in their ability to help photographers improve their craft, evolve their skills and earn money. And their suite of brand partners like Sony, Wacom, and Squarespace adds some additional power to their mission.

Our partnership comes at a pivotal time for photographers, specifically those frustrated with licensing their images to major agencies. Wemark’s use of blockchain technology to put licensing directly into the hands of content creators worldwide, along with ViewBug’s commitment to creating opportunities for talented photographers everywhere, makes this partnership a particularly exciting fit.

By joining forces, Wemark and ViewBug will expand feedback, revenue and educational opportunities for photographers of all levels worldwide.
