Title: When will PhotoDune submissions start again?
Post by: porpeller on September 11, 2017, 06:25

Hi! Have anyone got some clues on when will PD submissions open again? My portfolio has been deleted due to their quality assessment process, but I think I could try again with a more accurate selection of my work. Thank you in advance  :)

They are already allowing uploads but judging by recent performance they reject 90% of what is uploaded.

are you sure? on my dashboard I still got the "Item submissions have been suspended on PhotoDune to prepare for our new approach to photos on Envato" advice

Same here.

But probably I will not lose my time to upload on a site not respecting the contributors.

I can upload but I haven't since they turned the system back on.

I'm confused is this a new new approach after booting most of us off....? Im not proud but I think I would like some evidence they might be selling something before I subject myself to their random review process again . The chart on the right here is not encouraging.......

I think photo upload is only available to those photographers retained during their previous round of disabling/deleting portfolios. But, for all practical purposes, PhotoDune is dead. I think the last few buyers have left and the only purpose of PhotoDune now is a portal for Elements.

When they come begging on their knees offering lots of sales and a good percentage and no funny business with accounting.

So in other words, never.

I just noticed that stock contributors can apply for Envato Elements:

Hi XYZ,
Thanks for registering your interest in becoming an Envato Elements contributor. We appreciate you taking the time to give us your details.
Please remember we will not contact you unless you meet our criteria and we are doing a new contributor intake!
Please do not email us about your application or for updates on when we will be doing intakes as we will be unable to help.
Thanks again for your interest in Envato Elements!
All the best,
The Envato Elements content team.

The fact is they like arrogance 'remember we will not contact you unless you meet our criteria'. They are not able to say 'Thanks. No.'
