fotocommunity

fotocommunity is a German photography community founded in 2001 and operated by fotocommunity GmbH in Cologne. Since 2012 it has belonged to the WEKA group. The platform is aimed at hobby and professional photographers who want to show their work, get feedback and learn. It describes itself as the largest German-speaking photography community and also runs English, French, Italian and Spanish versions.

Pricing and limits

A free account allows 5 photos per week and 50 photos in total and includes participation in contests.
