Searching and downloading there will stop as of February 11.

If you are an SXP contributor reading this and aren’t already contributing to iStock, we would love to welcome you here and see you involved in our community. Sign up and get involved. If you are already an iStocker, we encourage you to upload any files which aren’t already in our collection.

We’d also like to announce that we will allow all StockXpert customers to transfer their credits here to iStock, where they will be honored on a 1 for 1 basis. If you have SXP credits to transfer, login to your SXP account and follow the instructions on the front page.

We know that this is tough news for many of you. SXP had a loyal community and will be missed by many.

Our free site Stock.Xchng will continue being the leading destination for those on a really tight budget. less

Welcome Thinkstock to the family

Thinkstock.com is a new subscription site launching today powered by selected photos, vectors and illustrations from Getty Images, Jupiter Images, and iStockphoto. It launches with the highest quality imagery of any subscription site, from the biggest names in the industry.

What does it mean for you here? If you're a contributor and are opted-in to the Partner Program, this is another site where your work will be featured. (That's right – Thinkstock is the long-rumoured Jupiter Images Unlimited replacement.) Just like at Photos.com, your royalties will be tallied up once a month and appear in your lump monthly Partner Program payment. You can find your content on Thinkstock by searching for your first and last name in single quotes: 'John Doe'. All iStock content will show up as the iStockphoto collection.

iStockalypse Audio Vegas

To celebrate all of our success and daily growth, it's time for us to meet our makers. So melt the wax and feel your ears burning: Audio iStockers are getting together for the first time ever. We have invited a small group of your most successful and outspoken peers to represent the community at an Audio summit to be held mid February in lovely Las Vegas. Since Las Vegas was the home of the first ever big time iStockalypse, it's a seamless cinch to hold the first ever Audiolypse.

iStockalypse Audio Vegas takes place February 15 - 20. We are looking forward to putting some faces to the avatars around here and finding the things that are unique to audio within the events of this uber super cool Lypse institution.

Since iStockers dwell in all places, we know there are a few of you in or around Vegas. We'd love to meet you. On Feb 19 the party will be moving to the Nine Fine Irishmen pub in the New York New York Hotel and Casino for some libations and communications at 8pm. If you are around please stop by and join the fun.

As mentioned earlier we had a fantastic first year and we think this event can only add momentum to what is projected to be an even better second year.

Meet us in Cannes

Before Christmas we announced that iStock would be part of the Sony World Photography Awards this April. Well, we're going to be a big part. Not only have we been involved in judging the competition, we'll be all over the weekend-long Photography Program.

Some specially chosen iStockphoto Ambassadors will be running ''iStockalypse style'' shoot demonstrations throughout the weekend to delight and amaze the public and we'll be organizing other workshops and come-all shoots as well.

Sound fun? It will be, and you should come. Picture something halfway between Ref5esh, the 2008 party that we held in Malta, and our trip to Photoshop World in Las Vegas earlier this fall. We're not talking a full-blown shooting iStockalypse – more of a laid back get together that's open to any iStocker who can make it.

The Sony World Photography Awards is a massive event. Throughout the Palais des Festivals, along the famous Croisette, selected hotels, city landmarks, streets and beaches, will showcase dozens of unique photographic exhibitions. The week-long celebration will include screenings, retrospectives of renowned photographers, exhibitions, book signings, special events, exhibition tours led by the artists, after parties and of course the awards ceremony itself.

For the photographic industry, there will be many tailored events. These will include talks, seminars, networking venues and events, an international student programme, exhibition tours, focus media events and discussions hosted by some of the world’s most renowned photographers, editors, publishers, gallery owners, curators and other industry experts.

The Festival is aimed for the general public and welcomes families, locals, foreign visitors and all those with a love for contemporary art, the still and moving images.

All you need is a ticket to the WPA Photography Program itself – that's just 15 pounds and gets you into all the workshops and talks for the weekend. If you're interested in the awards ceremony itself on Sunday night, its 30 pounds to get in and you'll also get access to all the Photography Program events. And as an iStocker, you get a special rate. Watch the thread for a promo code to get 35% off.

Post in this thread if you're definitely interested in coming out for a weekend party in Cannes. Reserve your SWPA tickets here.

Thanks to each and every one of you. It is fair to say that the idea of ‘microstock photography’ is moving in the right direction within the History of Photography. Progressively being recognized as a genuine and democratic representation of our times – a place where anyone, anywhere, can express how they see the World in which we live in.

À très bientôt... and see you in Cannes. less

2010 Canister Level Update

I think in the discussion the important message got lost. Our plans for next year had one goal: make more money for our exclusives. We are confident that’s going to happen--and much more than the 5% difference in royalty rates some of you would have hit at the old levels.

But let's cut right to it: we have good news. less
