EVO? So whats this all about?  Has anyone here been invited?

cshack:
Not me...What is it?

Tomboy2290:
Got this site mail:

Labor Day 2008 - is a great day that 123RF Contributors will look forward to as there are going to be some welcomed changes on 123RF.com.

1. Free images will be blog size
Since we introduced the free images section for 123RF in April 2007, the daily free image collection has since grown from 800 to an average of 12,000 images. We thank you for your participation and support.

Now to make it even more attractive, 123RF will downsize the images to the new blog size to encourage sales of larger size imagery for your images, hence, earning you more credit sales!

2. EVO images launch, Contribution by Invitation only
Some of you may already know, we're launching a new label called EVO on 123RF. EVO images will be priced higher and will only be sold via credits. There are 4 tiers of pricing that you can choose from.

Some of you have received invitations to upload to EVO and as we gradually roll EVO out, we will invite more and more of you to upload to this collection. To find out if you've been selected as an EVO contributor please look out for the sitemail and your email as well.

Remember that the review process will be a lot more strict and time consuming as we have to re-train some of our reviewers to look at things from another perspective. All in all, we want to ensure that with the EVO Label, 123RF and its Contributors will be offering better images to our customers.

Thank you and all the best for the months to come!

hmm... sorta like the fotolia infinite collection..

interesting...

Perhaps I'm not looking at this the right way (and I didn't get an invitation, so perhaps my nose is just out of joint) but aren't they all trying to get some exclusive content?

They want to compete with iStock's exclusive content, but they don't think they can get artist exclusivity, so they're going for image exclusivity. I think that the emeralds at Fotolia can submit to the black collection there, but again, the images have to be exclusive to Fotolia, right?

The way that affects those of us who don't submit to those collections is that prices aren't going up for the main collection, but for the EVO/Infinite group. I guess it just makes iStock exclusivity more appealing (to me) - there I can get higher returns on my lowly non-EVO non-Infinite files...

The other double take I had was on Labor Day - that's the fall in the US, but the site mail says May 1st, international worker's day.
