Years ago, I intentionally uploaded a very crappy photo to their site. Now I am constantly being told that it has won numerous awards. To view these awards, comes at an upgrade price. They are just out to make a buck. There are much better venues to host your website and sell prints.
Nope. You do not have to upgrade to see rewards. They are what other photographers give for recognition. I have had a Viewbug account/page for years and have always been able to see these. I just recently went Pro. There are other benefits, more uploads, more contests etc. But booth accounts are the same capabilities, just lower quantities of uploads, contest, website, selling, etc, if you do not have a pro account.
Why would you intentionally upload a bad photo. As soon as I see that a photo I have uploaded anywhere is not what I thought it was, I delete it.
