VSCO to Feature 50 Photographers' Work on Billboards Nationwide
The photo and video editing platform VSCO has introduced 'The Fifty,' a project featuring 50 photographers—one from each state in the U.S.—showcasing their work on billboards measuring 48x14 feet across the country. Those chosen will receive compensation and licensing, along with possible editorial and licensing prospects. To participate, photographers should upload images to the VSCO app using the hashtag #TheFifty along with a state-specific tag, provide a description of their series, and mention their state in their bio. This opportunity is available to U.S. residents aged 18 and older, with no fee for submissions. The deadline for entries is September 10, 2026. VSCO's goal is to highlight diverse viewpoints and broaden access to art.
