Getty Rewards Program
mj007:
This new plan sounds like one of our great government plans. As the Government says " We are here to Help "

I agree totally with you Sean. Companies like Getty and Shutterstock have underestimated how important it is for many producers to supply to companies that behave in an ethical way. Sure they still get material from some factories but they loose a lot of creative diversity. Stocksy is a strong prove of that. Sure the money is an incentive but tell 100 pros if they would like to be in Stocksy and another 100 if they would like to be or return supplying to Getty/Istock. We all know the answer, they know it too. And about Shutterstock ....they are so low in the scale and loosing so fast premium material content that they might go down even faster than Istock did when they started to whip their contributors.

In summary they're not getting enough brief content, or not enough of the right content, and are dangling a carrot. And the carrot is training?
Or maybe is the problem that contributors spend hundreds or thousands of dollars shooting for briefs and end up with pennies or dollars in return? I'm not feeling motivated by this program. May be just me.
fotoVoyager:
I’ve never understood the attraction of creating the Getty custom content unless it’s someone, somewhere or something you’ve got immediately to hand.
The return just doesn’t justify the effort.

If you are a Getty Images or iStock Exclusive contributor, when you create new content for many Creative and Custom Content briefs (using brief codes) you will be able to collect points and unlock our Rewards Program.

Thanks for the answer, I'm none of the above.
