SnapVillage Will No Longer Accept Uploads as of May 1st

Dear SnapVillage Contributor,

It’s been just over two months since we announced our plans to roll SnapVillage into a new microstock offering on Veer named Veer Marketplace…..

The next stage requires that we stop accepting new uploads to SnapVillage. We have scheduled this to happen on Friday, May 1. This means you can continue to upload images through April 30th, but after that you’ll have to hold on to your images for a few weeks while we transfer the rest of the SnapVillage content over to Veer Marketplace…..SnapVillage buyers will continue to be able to license your content.

We launched Phase 1 of Veer Marketplace in late February with 140,000 images that are now available for purchase on veer.com and we are still slated for a full launch mid year with contributor upload capabilities and credit-based pricing and subscriptions. We’ll be in touch with you over the next few weeks with an update on the Phase 2 launch date which will include the go-live date for the upload features on Veer Marketplace, submission guidelines and details about the new Veer Marketplace agreement and royalties….
