We have moved, visit www.vicpa.org.sg to find out more about the Visual, Audio, Creative Content Professionals Association (Singapore).
Formed in July 2021, the
Visual, Audio, Creative Content Professionals Association (Singapore) (VICPA) champions the interests of Singapore’s growing pool of freelance creative professionals. Today, a lack of industry standards has contributed to an undervaluation
of creative services. Work terms and conditions could also be further improved.
WHY JOIN VICPA
Creative professionals take pride in their work, which includes the upholding of fair-trade practices. VICPA strives to level up professionalism of creative practitioner-members through a professional code of ethics, and to raise awareness among clients
on how to value and procure creative works and their copyrights at fair rates. Download
