To become a contributor, you first need to register, but don’t worry it’s free and painless. After registering, check out the Getting Started guide to start submitting. Thank you for your interest and we appreciate your help making IMDb the world’s authoritative source for movie, TV, and celebrity content.

What is a Contributor?

A contributor is anyone who submits information for display on the site. There is a huge variety of data that can be added, such as a new Title (i.e. Movies, TV shows, Video Games etc.), Names (actors, writers, film crew, celebrities etc.) and numerous other categories such as directors, producers, trivia, goofs, soundtracks, quotes, release dates. Please see our Contributors' Charter for more information on how we work together.
