Yup, also got invitation, but... what kind of content are they looking for?
Need to spend some time browsing the whole IS portfolio to pick some 'premier' pics...

Cheers!

that thread didn't open for me.  Perhaps only exclusives can see it?

Nice to see iStock is keeping things fresh :)

Yes Leaf,

it's a thing for exclusive only.

Cheers.

Yeah i know it is only for exclusives but I still thought the announcement might be viewable for all... I suppose that would just make things confusing for those who couldn't participate.

I think it is a bad decision publishing a story here that was addressed to exclusives only... obviously the link will not work for non-exclusives.

As mentioned in the original announcement (http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=80935&page=1 (http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=80935&page=1)), the Premiere Collection will be open to exclusive members only. And the announcement made today was directed to those members as well.

Customers and non-exclusives will have to wait for the official announcement that will be made in due time when the Premiere Collection is ready. Stay tuned, it will be great.

Pardon my French, but shouldn't it be "Premier"?

Or are these images shown in advance? :)

We will be announcing something in the forums proper later today.

Yes, it should be 'Premier'.
Premiere means first public performance. Premier means first in importance.
Dunno why they're insisting on this misnomer.

Maybe it's the "first" of it's kind?

Tyler, maybe you should charge them for advertising, since it's only viewable to certain people  ;)
