What is 100% students?

Empowering students since 2011, our platform lets aspiring creatives keep 100% commission on photo, vector, and illustration sales for two years. We partner with top universities globally, offering students a chance to learn the ropes of stock photography and monetize their talent.

Why Alamy?

We’ll pay you 100% of the money from any sales you make for two years from the day you sign up (it doesn’t matter if you leave Uni or finish your course within this time – you’ll still get the full two years).

See your work showcased. Whatever subject or style you shoot, Alamy can turn your passion into profit, with customers looking to license your images. We’re always looking to highlight new emerging talent too, and regularly feature the work of Alamy photographers through our Contributor Spotlight homepage, and share our latest contributor interviews to our large customer base through our socials.

We’ve got dedicated sales teams around the world. You have the option of signing up to our network of partners who can sell your stock images to customers in most other countries and regions.

How do I sign up?

Sign up using your academic email address and select the ‘Student’ option, you’ll see a box pop up where you can enter your code (you can get this from your course Director)

If your school isn’t registered yet, just ask your Course Director to email students@alamy.com with your school name, student email domain e.g. @art.edu, information about the course you’re studying and a URL link to the course you’re studying
