Great competitions with great prizes

Great competitions with great prizes. Also they put on "just for fun" style comps, which are great to help build your confidence and knowledge. Don't be put off if you don't win, just look at the winning images and attempt to recreate in your own style. Who knows, maybe you'll win the next one.

Security 100%

This app/website is really fun. I was a little paranoid as a new photographer, but after reading through the terms and conditions, I feel a lot better knowing my content stays mine, even if I don't know what I'm doing. Viewbug gave me the confidence to put my work out in the world and try to make something of myself.

I find Viewbug a great platform for my photography hobby

I find Viewbug a great platform for my photography hobby, for a number of reasons as follows:
- It's a place to showcase your favourite shots and receive constructive criticism (if you would like to)
- It's a "community" where you can interact with other photography enthusiasts of all levels of ability
- As a subscriber there are plenty of competitions to enter, with some great prizes for the winners
- Also as a subscriber, you can devise your own "photo challenges" which other members can choose to take part in, and you choose the winner!
- Everyone has the opportunity to vote for the winners in all the contests.

Personally, I love that the contests / challenges have helped spark my creativity and as a result of becoming a member, I'm now going out & about with my camera a lot more, and getting more fun and enjoyment out of my photography.
My only 'niggle' is that I found the interface confusing at first; it took a little while to get used to it (but maybe that's just me). I got there in the end and it was well-worth persevering!

I shoot photography for a passion and sometimes get paid for it. Viewbug is a wonderful, low intensity platform that allows me to enjoy my work, share it and be a part of like minded imagineers, without the pressure of making it 'work'. The staff is spot on, the engagement is excellent and I appreciate the curation that is thoughtful and professional.
