Viber, a mobile messaging app known for its stickers such as LegCat and Violet, is launching a global sticker design initiative called "Sticky Fingers" to find the artist who will create the next Viber sticker character.
“Filipinos are known for many things – creativity, talent, and wit among them, and that’s why we believe that our artists will be strong contenders in this competition,” said Crystal Lee, Viber Country Manager for the Philippines.
Stickers are a core part of Viber’s service, with millions of people using them every day. In 2014, Viber’s 516 million users sent 22 billion stickers.
The winning artist will be selected by a panel that includes Viber Creative Director Erez Shocher and Chief Marketing Officer Mark Hardy.
They will work with the Viber Design Studio to turn their Sticky Fingers character into a fully developed commercial Sticker Pack that will be sold in Viber’s Sticker Market.
The artist will receive a share of revenue every time the Sticker Pack is bought.
Their work will also be featured around the world via Viber and Talenthouse’s social media channels.
Entries will be accepted only until April 16 at 1 a.m. (Philippine Time) through www.viber.com/StickyFingers/Info.
