Hello everyone!

This morning Adobe announced that in an effort to reduce production costs and take your post-production work to the next level, active Adobe Stock Contributors will be receiving a free year of the Creative Cloud Photography plan which includes Photoshop CC, Lightroom CC and other Adobe apps.

To qualify you need to one of the first 20,000 contributors to have 300 files approved or have $500 in earnings since January 1, 2018 with a 50% or higher approval ratio to receive a CCP member.

The first 2,000 video contributors to have 300 videos approved or with $500 in earnings on video sales with a 50% or higher approval ratio will receive a one year full Creative Cloud membership.

If you have already qualified then no action is needed on your part. In the next 6-8 weeks you will receive a code via email. If you haven't met the criteria yet...get out and start shooting and submitting!

An faq has been created to answer most questions. If you have any other questions please let me know.

Kind regards,

Nice!

Is there a way to split apart video and photo sales in the insights page?  I'm not seeing a way.

Any rewards for After Effects Templates creators?

This is great news.
Though I have not received any email (till now) but I am sure this is a great step in contributor and adobe relation.

I already own CC subscription which will expire next year. If any contributor is qualified then how they will be rewarded with existing subscription active?

The answer is in the FAQ Mat linked to.

Hi Sean,

No way to split the stats between photo and video at this time. I'll be sure to mention that to the development team working on enhancing the existing tool with more advanced features. I'm not aware of any program specific for After Effects template creators at this time.

Thanks,

Mat

This is fantastic!!!!

Oooo goody! Fingers crossed

Fantastic news!

I qualify for the over $500 part (not by much though... have made $616 this year), but how do I know if I've qualified for the 'first 2,000' part... any ideas?

How did you split out the video?

Agree, a countdown or something would be nice.

A great example of a win-win proposal!

Congratulation Adobe and thanks a lot for your support, Mat!

I haven't got anything other than video!

LOL. No love for the Illustrators.

If you have already met the criteria as you mentioned then you should be qualified. There are still opportunities for contributors to earn CC.

Not true! We definitely love illustrators! I understand you are referring to Adobe Illustrator specifically but it's important to note your vector uploads and earnings from vectors do count towards the CCP giveaway.

Some actual good news! Thanks for the heads up Matt, for some reason I didn't receive the email others got informing them of this.

I would have loved the full CC subscription to be for illustrators too.
Because the Photography plan will not be useful for me, the suggestion from the faq is to gift it to someone.

Excellent news from Adobe. Very appreciate  I earn more than 500$ and upload more than 300 footages this year. One month ago I just renewed again one year CC Photography plan. But this is great action for others too. I am happy and wait for email with code from Adobe. I'd like to check and work with others CC apps too.

Thanks and best regards

to bad, I stopped uploading to fotolia when they launched Dollar club

Dollar Photo Club is long gone. I recommend you start an Adobe Stock Contributor account right away and get your content online asap!

Is this for Fotolia contributors also?

Yes, as long as you have synced your account with Adobe Stock. If you haven't done so yet, please visit contributor.stock.adobe.com to sync up and qualify for the giveaway.

Will the credits for the photography plan go towards a full CC version that I'm already paying for? Like others have said the photo version isn't a ton of use by itself to me, but a little off my bill is always good.

If I sync now I doubt I'll be in the first 2,000 chosen.
Are there any other benefits to syncing accounts?

Less than 4 video sales away for the full package, so I may miss out on that one but passed the criteria for the photography package 1st half of January so should be good for that..... very nice offer!!

Is this something AS is considering doing each year?!?! It would be a nice bonus to work for!!
