In theory yes, in practice everyone I've read of who applied has been rejected. But for all I know people who have been accepted may be required not to tell (crazy hypothesis). All you can do is try.
There are occasional posts about this in the iS forums.

No, only have a few files at Istock from years ago - uploading was so much hassle lol.

Or apply and get no answer at all.  :(

iStock: Uploads to the Creative or Creative Unreleased collection will be rejected if they are News, Sport, Entertainment or Event Coverage. If you wish to upload such images, you will first need to apply to Getty Images to become an Editorial contributor for that site. Please note that Editorial Photo contracts are generally only offered to working photo-journalists.
