We encourage all creators to join the Voronoi App, where you’ll have full
control over your visualizations and access to a growing data storytelling
community. However, if you prefer, you can submit your work directly to the
Visual Capitalist team for review through this form.

The strongest applicants to the Creator Program by Voronoi tend to have a
track record of public-facing data storytelling. We’re currently focused on
image-based content (video and interactivity are in development), and
prioritize creators whose work meets the following criteria:

    • Visually engaging and mobile-friendly
    • Error-free and fact-based, with transparent data sourcing
    • Clear and credible data sources, ideally with raw data and
      methodology provided
    • A good fit for the Visual Capitalist audience, in terms of both topic and
      format

Before applying, be sure to read our quickstart guide for creators to help
prepare your submission.

Yes, as long as you’re the original creator, you can post your visual on your
Voronoi Creator page.

Absolutely. There’s no cap on how many pieces you can post on your Voronoi
Creator page. If we publish multiple of your visuals on our website or
newsletter, you’ll be compensated for each one.

Each Monday, one post is awarded Visual of the Week on the Voronoi App
—a community-driven recognition for standout work.
Throughout the week, users can tap the trophy icon on their favorite visual
to vote. The post with the most trophy votes by Sunday night earns the title
the following Monday.

This is reserved for a visual that our Editors believe particularly stands out. That may be because it’s of an exceptional standard, is very different and unique, is newsworthy or timeless. There is no fixed number of Editor’s Choice visuals per month and there is no extra work a Creator can do to be considered.

Yes. As a Creator on Voronoi, you maintain full ownership of your work. If
your work is also featured on Visual Capitalist, we always credit you. We act
simply as a platform to distribute and amplify your work to a wider
audience, be it on the app, the website or our newsletter.

Our editorial team reviews all submitted work and carefully checks data sources as well. Due to an overwhelming amount of submissions, we will only be able to respond on a case-by-case basis.

For qualifying posts from independent Creators, we pay you within 30 days of publishing your visual on the site. Simply send us your preferred payment details when requested and we’ll send you a bank transfer.

Just send us an email at [email protected] and we’ll make the changes for you!
Yes! We consider each submission on its own merits. Though if you received feedback from our team before, to avoid any disappointment, please make sure that feedback is taken into consideration before submitting any more pieces.
At this time, our audience is primarily based in North America and Europe, so pieces should be submitted in English. If your work has been published before in another language, feel free to submit a translated version.
Ideally, static graphics should be 1200px wide and no more than 3MB. Animated graphics should adhere to Vimeo’s guidelines. Larger graphics may be considered as well. Check out our technical guidelines for more information.
