I have been a member of viewbug for many years now and I've entered hundreds of contests. Never won. I have however won challenges
I have used Viewbug for ca 5-7 years. I have posted close to 300 photos, all of which are creative, lit properly, not blurry, and if I do say so myself, quite well set and captured. However, I have nearly 600 awards. Now you might say, "But that's great! Why complain or question it?" Well, what bugs me is that some people who have well over 5000 awards, have only 13 photos and they are really not that special. Sometimes photos among the 5 - 13 to 27 photos in their collection are even blurry. How in the heck did they get an award? Is it a fake profile created by Viewbug's AI to make you think they give out awards to real people?... I have submitted to easily 20 or contests over the years, with photos that won plenty of community awards, but I have yet to win any equipment. Just saying... it smells a bit odd.
Winning my first photo contest on ViewBug was an exhilarating experience! The recognition and exposure I gained were beyond my expectations. I can't thank ViewBug enough for providing a platform that appreciates and celebrates the art of photography...
I have participated in other photo contests elsewhere but I find ViewBug's approach to be the most unbiased and credible. It's reassuring to know that your work is evaluated based on its merits. The ranking and voting is clear and you cannot buy votes which I think is as fair as it gets

Great format to gauge your audience, participate in contests and receive feedback.
Viewbug provides easy access to creating a website and logos.
The memberships are reasonable.
Uploading from phone is the only downside.
I am a Lite Member and LOVE IT. Viewbug gives me the opportunity to see other's work and to gather inspiration the next time I use my camera. I'm not a pro by any means. Just a person who is enjoying a hobby. Yes, I enter contest and could careless if I win... the likes and small peer awards that I am receiving give me the courage to press on and hopefully one day capture the most amazing photo ever.

I have been a Pro+ member for several years now and at first it was reasonably good value but to be honest I now see no benefit from paid for membership and in fact no real benefit at all from the site. The incessant emails are annoying, the contests are pointless, and the so-called benefits of membership offer little that can't be obtained elsewhere, often free of charge.
I shall not be renewing my membership.
