When you upgrade to Gold at a participating school, businesses celebrate your achievement with gift certificates to restaurants, shops, and services. You save more on photos AND get rewards from your community. This is what celebrating together looks like.
Is Bravo Gold available at my school?
Check your access code email—if Bravo Gold is offered at your school, it will be mentioned there. Not every school offers Bravo Gold (it's optional), but every school offers the same Gold tier pricing and savings. Bravo Gold is the bonus—a way to turn your graduation into a community-wide celebration.
How does it work?
When you upgrade to Gold tier, you'll select your preferred gift certificate from a list of participating businesses. You'll receive your gift certificate via email or physical card, depending on the business. Gift certificate values vary by school and will be clearly stated in our email to you.
Does Bravo Gold mean prices are higher?
No. Gold tier pricing is the same whether your school offers Bravo Gold or not. The gift certificate is a bonus included with Gold tier access. Bravo Gold makes Gold tier even more valuable.
For Businesses
Why should my business participate?
Bravo Gold connects you directly with graduating students and their families right when they're celebrating. You gain guaranteed customers during graduation season and associate your brand with celebrating graduates.
You're not offering discounts—you're celebrating achievement. Graduates and their families remember that.
Turn first-time visitors into repeat customers. Build brand loyalty with families at a major milestone. Position yourself as a community champion. Create word-of-mouth marketing among celebrating families.
This is customer acquisition that feels good.
What will participation cost?
Businesses pay a participation fee to join Bravo Gold. This fee covers program administration and varies based on the schools you're supporting and the structure of their Pixown partnership.
Pixown purchases gift certificates from you at the agreed-upon value. When graduates redeem them at your business, you honour them as you would any gift certificate—you've already been paid. All cost structures and certificate values are finalized during onboarding—no surprises, no hidden fees.
All agreements are between you and Pixown—schools are not involved in business selection, terms, or agreements.

For Schools
Why should our school offer Bravo Gold?
Bravo Gold transforms graduation from a transaction into a community celebration—at zero cost to your school. We handle business recruitment. Your graduates receive tangible rewards from businesses in their community.
Does Bravo Gold cost our school anything?
No. Bravo Gold is completely free to schools. Your school simply approves the program. No setup fees, no ongoing costs, no administrative burden.
All business relationships are between Pixown and participating businesses. Your school is not party to any commercial agreements, business endorsements, or vendor relationships.
This protects your school from any appearance of commercial partnerships or compliance concerns. Your role is simply to approve Bravo Gold as a Pixown program available to your graduates.
How do we get started?

The Bigger Picture
Traditional photography companies operate on a simple principle: capture graduates, eliminate choice, maximize profit. Forced packages. Inflated pricing. Take it or leave it.
Pixown puts graduates back in control with transparent tiered pricing. But we didn't stop there. Bravo Gold proves graduation photography can create value beyond the transaction—rewarding graduates, supporting businesses, strengthening communities, and positioning schools as leaders.
That's why Bravo Gold matters.
Individually, we are moments. Together, we are a celebration.
