Easy! Simply submit your artwork to us via our submit form at submit.grafffunk.com.

Afterwards editors will check the submission and shortly after that your pictures will be available on the site. We ask for a little patience though. We try to process all submissions as soon as possible.

How can I get my image posted on Instagram?

After submitting, one of our editors checks the submission and activates it for the website. From the best submissions we select the highlights for our Instagram channel. Please understand that we receive hundreds of submissions every week, but there is only room for 10-20 on our Instagram channel. We ask you to refrain from asking for more information.

Is Graff.Funk anonymous and secure?

Graff.Funk is anonymous as long as you want it. When you upload, we only collect the data you enter, no other information. As a rule: if you upload a picture publicly to Instagram, you can upload it to us, too, because: In that case Instagram already knows more about you than Graff.Funk. :)

You decide yourself which data will appear. For example, we do not collect email addresses or any other user information when uploading. You can also upload images and mark them as "unknown". You decide. The data that we collect about a picture and that you provide when you upload it, we make available to the public on grafffunk.com. We use the data only for this purpose. We do not sell the data to any third party and we never will.

If you are user diving through grafffunk.com please read our Privacy Policy.

Why is there advertising on grafffunk.com?

A database like grafffunk.com with tens of thousands of images and the filtering features we offer incurs costs with everyone who visits and scrolls through the archive. If tens of thousands of users do this every month, that amounts to very high costs for hosting the site. In addition, there are costs for editorial content, other content, social media support, user and artist care and much much more. A project like this takes up an enormous amount of resources. For this reason we have to put ads on the site, but we try to do this in a reserved way and as cool as possible. We hope this is okay for you. The other option would be: no archive of this kind, for any of us.

We would like to work with you! How does it work?

Send us your ideas for cooperation to hello@grafffunk.com. We will get back to you as soon as possible.

How can I find my images on grafffunk.com?
