Account Policy and Terms

Our main focus is to encourage and uplift ARMY creatives. All collaborations that gvfxarmy will do, will be for the benefit of the wider ARMY community and will be decided on based on the topic of the project. As well as whether the time frame is suitable to execute this. In case we are unable to help if you require graphic or editorial support for your team, we will advise and suggest other accounts for you to contact that can offer help and we are also happy to help you with sharing and promoting opportunities.

Please fill in our Collab/Hiring Form if you would like to work with us, or would like us to share an graphics/video opportunity for ARMY, and we will respond to you shortly!

Please have a read of our FAQ before asking us a question. We will answer questions that align with the focus of our account and those that have not yet been answered.

We aim to respond to our DMs on weekdays, within a couple days! Please bear with us!
