Keeper of the site

Spirit of the Site

A blue cat who lives on SuperSnimki

Nobody knows where he came from or what he really looks like, but everybody loves him. The Spirit simply lives on the site and takes an active part in its life. His cuteness is off the charts.

What the Spirit does

He is the heart and soul of the site

Keeps order

He looks after the quality of the content and a friendly atmosphere; moderation decisions are made on his behalf.

Explains honestly

Sometimes he tells authors straight why a photo did not make it to the top and how to improve it.

Hosts the contests

He picks the topics of the weekly contests, talks to you about them and sums up the results.

Gives rewards

A shot that becomes the Photo of the Day or wins the weekly contest brings its author a reward in golden coins.

Writes to you

Congratulations, notes about your articles and news from the site come from him.

Brings people together

He is a friend, a mentor and a secret advisor of every photographer on the platform.

Mystery, magic and algorithms

Who hides behind the mask?

When you first meet the site you may feel something supernatural at work. Nobody knows who the Spirit is, but everyone who comes here feels his care at once: he seems to bring the site to life.

Behind the mask there are algorithms that pick the best works for the main feed — and the people of the project team who stay behind the scenes, improving the site for your comfort.

So when you see a message from the Spirit, know that these are words of care and support from the team and the technology behind him.

Shoot, share and do not be shy: every frame matters here. I am always nearby.
