Create a sticker pack for Viber inspired by your favorite city

Messaging app Viber invites artists and creative minds from around the world to create original stickers inspired by international cities for their Sticky Fingers: My City, My Vibe global design initiative.
Stickers are used in Viber conversations to express an emotion, a reaction or a statement instead of just plain, boring text messages. Viber stickers are often accompanied by a phrase such as 'Hi, Bye, BRB,' etc. Viber has thousands of fun stickers from cute, to romantic, to quirky. There’s a sticker for everything on Viber!

Whether you’re an artist, illustrator, graphic designer, architect, photographer, comic book artist or caricaturist, Viber encourages artists to bring the vibe of the city to life showing what makes it unique and special to you. Your My City, My Vibe designs can be anything, as long as they express the unique personality of your city in sticker form and can be used in a Viber messaging conversation.

Perhaps it’s the delicious food, a cool music vibe, or maybe it’s just buzzing with inspirational people and rich in history. Imagine the whole world sharing good vibes with a sticker pack inspired by your most-loved city and designed by you! London, New York, Moscow, Tokyo, Manila? What’s your inspirational city?

your sticker pack design

• Your sticker designs can be sketches, graphic design or photo-based images (as long as you have the usage rights). They can include a character, an image or simply words, but remember that the most-used stickers are expressive, emotional and fun! Your sticker designs must be communicative and usable within an instant messaging chat (for example: I love it here!, On my way, Where are you?, Still waiting, See you there, Let's party etc.)
• Please provide three sample stickers, all fully colored. Please submit your design in a JPG/PNG format and include a brief description.
• Please do not use the Viber logo and do not use any existing Viber sticker characters. The design needs to be completely original. Please also avoid adding too many details in your design as it will ultimately need to work on a small mobile screen format.
