In 2009, Shutterstock On The Red Carpet covered many notable events
worldwide, including Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, the U.S. Open tennis
tournament, Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour, The Black Crowes Tour, the Major
League Soccer Semifinal match between Chivas USA and the Los Angeles Galaxy,
and the Tribeca Film Festival. This year, Shutterstock photographers also

Shutterstock is the only online stock image agency to offer this unique
service, which assists its global network of photographers in securing press
passes to the hottest events in the world of news, sports, and entertainment.
Thanks to the tremendous success of the program, the amount of photographers

since Shutterstock On The Red Carpet launched, the number of covered events
has grown from two in 2007 to 127 so far in 2009. Based on the number of
exciting events in the pipeline, Shutterstock projects covering a total of
175 events this year.

The program, which is open to Shutterstock's submitter base of more than
200,000 talented photographers, has produced high quality editorial photos
that set Shutterstock apart in the highly competitive online stock photo
marketplace.

"Given that Shutterstock On The Red Carpet is unique in the international
stock photo marketplace, it's a key differentiator for buyers who seek
affordable, premium stock photos of newsworthy events happening around the
world," said Adam Riggs, president and CFO of Shutterstock.
