What are Staff Picks?
As a Vimeo member, you’re automatically opted in to follow Staff Picks, which is a channel that our Curation team updates every day (Note: You can always unfollow any account on Vimeo). The goal of Staff Picks is to celebrate the best films on Vimeo for our global audiences to enjoy.
If you come across a Staff Pick on Vimeo, it will be indicated with a laurel badge.
In addition to Staff Picks, you can find Best of the Year and Staff Pick Premieres. Staff Pick Premieres are global online film premieres, featuring a pre-selected Staff Pick each week.

How can my film become a Staff Pick?
There’s no formal submission process for how to become a staff pick on Vimeo, and any creator can have their video chosen. A good place to start is to make sure that your thumbnail and description are clear and pique a viewer’s interest. You can also seek out appropriate groups and channels to add your video to, and make sure it’s appropriately categorized and tagged as well as rated for content.
