#Pond5Challenge

Calling all content creators! Enter the Pond5 Free Media Challenge and show us the incredible things you can do with Pond5’s free content.

Our Free Collection launched last month. Since then, we’ve loved seeing how you engage with this complimentary compilation of over 3,000 videos, images, and music tracks. The Pond5 Free Media Challenge is your chance to win incredible prizes for the stories you produce!

 

What’s in it for me?

Prizes and fame! All entrants receive the chance to win one of three grand prizes in addition to an algorithm-boosting shoutout on Pond5 social channels. Plus, the first 50 entrants will receive a $50 Pond5 credit, so get your submissions in early. Make sure you hashtag #Pond5Challenge when posting your video on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, and we’ll do our best to share it with our followers.
