I believe that page is manually updated, so it may be behind.

They're still working through the applicants afaik.

Respect!

Now that submissions are closed, I've pretty much given up any hope of hearing a positive response regarding my 2014 application.

You are rigth, not receiving a positive response until now is not a good sign.

I am tired of microstock and Getty, maybe one day Stocksy will be the agency that I am proud off.

Hello all!  New person coming through.

Does anyone know if stocksy is checking our portfolio links and social media in addition to the portfolio that we are submitting to them?  The reason I ask is because it's been about 2 months since I applied and it's been a busy two months! My portfolio has grown a lot.  It's bothering me that so many photos that I would love to include didn't make the cut!

The longer I wait the more nervous I get about my application!

Thank you!

Congrats Chelsea I have seen some of your pictures from the application in the Stocksy stream so you made it! Well deserved! :)

Just submitted my application and I am now quite anxious to know how it will end. I firstly sent in when they opened about 4 months ago but I have now added more shots from this summer..

Anyone knows how they are getting along with the queue? If I face a full new 4 months I am gonna get really bored..

And how is earnings in Stocksy? Any ideas on that? Do they sell alot? Is the grass greener on the other side?

Cheers!

Can we still submit? I think the application to stocksy is closed.

As for the "waiting", happen to me also. I think is not good news ... but we will see.

Many applicants and a small, very thorough and dedicated staff of editors. There was a huge backlog and I'm sure they are still making there way through the applications.

So sorry to hear that, the images on your portfolio are easily as good as a many they have, imho. The only thing I can think is that they perhaps felt that your subject matter was already being covered by other photographers in this or the previous round of entries. Stocksy is committed to sustainability for it's contributors.

Don't be discouraged, you have a great eye for creating wonderful images which have feeling. One thing's for sure, there's no way I'm in, if the likes of you are getting rejected.

You definitely should apply again next year. Hopefully they gave you some critique which will be of use.

Also decline. At this time I was expecting that.

So sad I still have to look at Getty as my first agencie.

Well ... one year to build a new portfolio and apply again.

Sorry to hear that Jodie. You have a very beautiful portfolio.

Yeah! I wish they give some reason and some pointers when they reject. Is there any public statements or more informal information about what they are looking for in applicants. I know they are looking for uniqe shots and I can see the coloring they fancy from the site, but is there any  more precise elaboration on this? Cheers?

Thanks everyone for your kind words. A few wines and the best of eddie Vedder and I'm feeling ok. Tomorrow is a new day. Time to refocus (pun intended) :)

Funnily enough, even before you wrote this, I was thinking:
