CREATIVE PROFESSIONALS, VICPA CHAMPIONS YOUR INTEREST!

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.

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.
