Please note that our team is currently at full capacity and we
regret to inform you that we are unable to accept any new
submissions at this time.
However, we are actively planning to reopen our submission process
in the near future. Please stay tuned for updates and
announcements.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
What We're Looking For
Our goal is simple: we want to see what you're doing with Vonage’s products, and we want you to share your story with the community through the Vonage developer blog.
We're interested in technical tutorials on something original you have built, an innovative use case, or some interesting third-party integrations that use Vonage products.
Successful submissions will be:
Original. Literally, we want original work (nothing that has been published elsewhere). And more figuratively, we want to see original thought and interesting points of view we can't find anywhere else.
Well-written. Before we can publish a post, it must conform to our style guide. We’re happy to help fine-tune, but submissions should be proofread and need only minor editing.
Code-driven. The result of your post should be something a reader can build upon. The code should be clearly explained and helpfully split up.
Does my post have to be about Vonage products?
Your posts must involve Vonage products. It can be any of them: Messages, Voice, Video, Verify, Conversation APIs, or one of the other tools of our communication suite.
What We're Not Looking For
- Beginner-level tutorials on how to use Vonage APIs
- Thought leadership articles
- Introduction to third-party frameworks, programming languages, and modern development techniques
- Anything that is not a step-by-step tutorial
- Articles that have already been published on other platforms
- Tutorials on topics that we have already covered. You can check what we have already published on our Vonage developer blog
What's in it for You?
We pay $500 USD per post. Your tutorial will be published on our learning platform and may be shared in our newsletter.
We make every effort to amplify the reach of each and every blog post on our site, and yours will be no exception; you'll have the Vonage marketing and social media teams behind you getting the word out about your work. Your success is our success.
You can also choose to donate the $500 to a charity, making a difference in the technology industry.

You do! You grant Vonage an unlimited license to publish and promote your post, but you retain full ownership.
