-- In its ninth year, the in-house creative team showcases Shutterstock's

) (NYSE: SSTK), a leading global creative platform offering full-service 
solutions, high-quality content, and tools for brands, businesses and media

infinite possibilities of these creative assets.

The Oscar Pop! series is an opportunity to celebrate and reinterpret the art of 
cinema through the art of design. Acclaimed artists provide inspiration for the 
eight in-house Shutterstock designers, whose pop art creations serve as a 
visual representation of how iconic art, masterful storytelling, and creative 
passion can come together to inspire artistic innovation. From the bubbly color 
palette and black collage elements synonymous with Pauline Boty, the founder of 
the British Pop Art movement, to the modern calligraphy depicted in Russian 
artist Pokras Lampas's street projects, each poster represents the individual 
and unique perspectives and interpretations of this year's Best Picture 
nominees. Additionally, these posters highlight the diverse, best-in-class 
content provided by Shutterstock's global 1.6 million contributor community, 
which acts as the foundation for these remarkable, one-of-a-kind works of art. 

This year's list of nominated films and artists that inspired the designers 
include: "The Father" inspired by Banksy, "Judas and the Black Messiah" 
inspired by Emory Douglas, "Mank" inspired by Yayoi Kusama, "Minari" inspired 
by Peter Max, "Nomadland" inspired by Johanna Goodman, "Promising Young Woman" 
inspired by Pauline Boty, "Sound of Metal" inspired by Jamie Hewlett, and "The 
Trial of the Chicago 7" inspired by Pokras Lampas.

"The 2021 Academy Award Best Picture nominees form an eclectic shortlist, from 
the power of words and the pursuit of justice in "The Trial of the Chicago 7," 
to a Korean-American family's immigrant story in "Minari," these films provide 
our team with endless inspiration for this annual poster collection," said Flo 
Lau, Creative Director at Shutterstock. "Now in its ninth year, the Oscar Pop! 
series is a highlight for the creative team, who not only produce fun, fresh 
works of art based on their personal perspectives, they also leverage the 
exceptional talent from our 1.6 million contributor community."

In addition to the celebratory Oscar Pop! poster series, Shutterstock will have 
access to the 93rd Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday, April 25th, with coverage 
of celebrity arrivals on the red carpet, as well as the general photo room.
