Many have reported an issue in which they cannot click to agree to the terms after nominating their assets. If you experience this, the first thing to try is a different browser.
If that still doesn't work, check to make sure your browser window is set to 100%. You can check/change this in Chrome for example by clicking the magnifying glass icon (just to the left of the star icon) found on the right side of the browser bar.
Please let me know if you have been experiencing this issue and changing the resolution in your browser fixes it.
Thank you,
Mat Hayward

Hi Mat
I have images in my portfolio, i would give out for this program.
But, can you/Adobe make it a bit easier to nominate them, if someone doesnt want to nominate either all, or select every single pic.
Maybe, Adobe can make a button on each page to select all (on every page), so it would be easier to deselect the ones, i don't want to have in the free section?
Thanks for the suggestion. I don't see this as a likely option this time around but I've made a note of it in case something like this can be implimented in the future. -Mat

@Matt
Please answer my question very clear. I've 550 images nominated, will I get the payment for these in 1 go or it will be paid partially?
You will be paid for each asset you nominated that is approved, the moment they are added to the free collection. The first batch of accepted assets will be moved to the free collection shortly after the nomination period closes on June 23, 2021, at 9am PDT. We may accept additional files from your nominated photos and move them in batches to the free collection until September 30, 2021. You will be notified and receive payments for each accepted batch of photos should that occur. Please check out the FAQ linked here for more information: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/free-collection-contributor-information.htmlThanks, Mat Hayward

Mat, one more question:
You said the images in the free section do come with a standard license.
What happens, if a customer would need/want an EL for such an image? Can they still buy that EL (and we get the usual royalties)?
In the addendum it says (point 6): "During the Free Period, you will not receive any additional payment for Free Collection Works beyond the Free Payment"
That seems to exclude such a possibility, but maybe it's just something that should be clarified...
Thanks!
Thanks for th e question @dirkr. No, Extended licenses are not available for purchase on free photos. Customer can however, click on your portfolio link or see similar images and purchase an Extended license on another photo in the series if you have one available. -Mat

Any plans to include other content beyond photos?
Currently, we are refreshing the photos in our free collection. We may have an option to nominate additional asset types in the future. I will be sure to post updates in MSG if that comes to be. -Mat

So if you agree to these images going into the free collection, would you need to pull them from other sites?
No, this is a non-exclusive agreement. You can keep your content online at other sites. Mat

As promised, the filter is now ebabled in the dashboard section. Click the "eligible for free collection" button found above and to the right of the image previews in the dashboard section to view and nominate eligible photos.
Thank you,

How do we see which images are "nominated"? I'm not seeing any mark or buttons...
eta: never mind, I see it on images with more than 0 downloads.
Is there any way to see only all the "nominated" images in one search?
Any minute now, a filter will be enabled so you can see them all. FYI, there are images with 0 downloads that are eligible. I'll post an update once the filter is live. -Mat

Maybe @MatHayward can clarify the Extended License is grating Etsy sellers the right to sell prints.
Please refer to the license details page here for allowable use with an Extended license: https://stock.adobe.com/license-terms#extendedLicensesthank you, Mat

I haven't decided whether to participated but I did take a look to see what had a "nominate" button next to it.
If a file has zero downloads, even if it was uploaded in the last couple of months, it appears not to be eligible. Many that have one or two downloads do have a nominate option - but some which have just one or two downloads do not have a nominate button.
Are all zero download images excluded, even if they're recent?
For recent images with one or two downloads, why are the ones selected or not selected? Is it subject matter or some other internal stat that we can't see (like views, or presence/absence of keywords)?
The only definite disqualifier I know is if a file has had more than 4 downloads in the past 12 months. It will be easier to tell if any of your images with zero downloads are eligible after the filter is in place (which should be very soon now). I don't have any information available as to the specific criteria for what was and was not selected. -Mat

As many of you know, last year Adobe Stock launched a free collection to drive traffic to the marketplace. The initial collection was limited to participation from a very small number of Adobe Stock Contributors. We were pleased with the results: traffic did increase and many visitors who initially came for free content converted to paying customers, resulting in added revenue for the larger Contributor community.
Its now time to refresh and expand the program. For a limited time starting on June 7, many of you will see a banner in the dashboard section of the Adobe Stock Contributor portal. The banner gives you the opportunity to nominate qualified photos from your portfolio. You can nominate all eligible files (photos only at this time), or you can go through the Dashboard and nominate individual files. Please note that your best-selling images are exempt from this program. We will not be accepting any images that received more than 4 downloads in the past 12 months.
You have until June 23 to nominate any or all your eligible files. After that, the banner will go away, and our moderation team will quickly review the submissions.
A big difference between the Adobe Stock free collection and other sites offering content for free is that we are paying Contributors up front for participation. For every file approved for the free collection, we are paying a one-time rate of $5 (If paid in USD currently. Otherwise, 5 credits in your currency) . This payment is for 12 months of non-exclusive use in the free collection. After the 12 months are up, the files will automatically be returned into your paid collection.
Please see the FAQ for more details, and let me know if you have any additional questions not covered there.

Hello Matt, how are you?, I'm trying to agree with the addendum but it's not working. only works from tomorrow?
Thanks
Try a different browser. I've seen a few reports of this and the browser switch seems to do the trick in most cases. Sorry about the hassle.
-Mat
I switched from Chrome to Edge, but the Agree button is still grayed out. The same happens on my mobile.
One more question, after one year, will all the potential upcoming free downloads be considered by the ranking algorithm, or in other words, will these free downloads help the visibility of these files?
I asked the team about the potential impact on your photos after the year expires and they are added back into your paid portfolio. As a disclaimer, I must say that we cant make any promises here. The mission of search is to offer the most relevant results to the customer. What we can say is that your photos in the free collection will provide our search algorithm with more information about its value or relevance to particular search queries. Since there is no payment barrier, its likely your accepted photos will see a lot more interaction with customers than they would in the paid collection. If your images prove to be relevant to what the customers need in the free collection, its likely they will perform better in your paid portfolio than they did before they were added to the free collection. You have to take this with a grain of salt though as there are many variables at play. Mat

Mat,
1. It says that you are submitting your work for consideration to be included.... Can you confirm that if the contributor submits photos, all their files will be included in the Free Collection or will Adobe filter a certain amount from your approved collection. For example. You will take all 50 from the nominated or hand pick from the 50
2. What is the size of the photo collection in the Adobe Free Collection
Cheers
Sorry, I missed the 2nd part of your question regarding the size of the collection. We don't have a fixed collection size we are after here. The intent is to have breadth without depth. In other words, we want to continue to capture the basic needs of most buyers and then convert them with more offerings in the paid collection after they've tried our service. -Mat

After the 23rd, the nominated files will be reviewed and considered. Not all nominated files will be accepted.

No one is going to pay for an image on one site that he can get for free on other sites
This seems true until you factor in laziness / apathy or pure ignorance that an image is available for free on the part of many buyers.
I am assuming that the customer is paying for this service, an annual or monthly fee for x amount of photos. So the photos are not really free.
Your assumption is incorrect. All that is required to download free content is an Adobe ID. The intent is to convert the Free users to paid subscriptions where they can download content from the paid portfolios of contributors. -Mat

Mat,
I see in the terms it says the photos are sold under a commercial licence. What does this mean? How does it compare to standard, enhanced, extended licences?
Cheers
Photos in the free collection are downloaded with the Standard license. -Mat

Hi Mat, once approved, will my newly free images be sold under my name (that means will the customer see my contributor name?) and might these free ones help promote my paid portfolio somehow?
Yes, your name is a clickable link that will take customers to your paid portfolio. -Mat

Mat - Does the number of times a image in the free collection is downloaded affect the position of the image in a search after the 12 months is over? In other words would exposure of an image in the free program potentially improve its position in the search order long term?

I don't know the answer to this question @khew. If I find out definitive informationk, I will share it here. Thanks, Mat

I took a quick look and it appears that photographs downloaded between 1 and 3 times are eligible - is that correct? (I have one that was downloaded 4x but has the nominate button too - guess it may've been downloaded recently).
...
I have seen files in my port with 20 downloads that are eligible. My guess is it is probably a "download rate" thing. You asked several great questions btw!
The eligibility is for files with no more than four downloads in the last 12 months. If you have 20 downloads that occurred more than a year ago, the photo may be eligible. -Mat

Mat,
How does this affect the working out for the free Adobe subscription offer based on downloads?
Cheers
This doesn't have an impact on the Creative Cloud bonus program. Downloads in Free will not count toward your sales statistics. -Mat Hayward

How does nominating our images for this collection effect the required 150 downloads needed for the year to qualify for the free Adobe CC subscription?
I've had quite a few $3-4 downloads lately and one for $23 last month, so I'm on the fence, but it's nice that you've opened this up as it's an interesting option. May was a really good month for me Adobe, my best ever in fact, despite having not uploaded in months due to an unfortunate reaction to the Covid vaccine which has left me with terrible vertigo. Hoping with PT it will go away but it will probably take several months. So this is a more attractive offer than it would normally be.
Images may be eligible if they have had 4 or less downloads in the past 12 months. Your post is an emotional rollercoaster. Very pleased to see you had such a great May at Adobe Stock and I'm sorry to hear about your adverse reaction. I hope you recover quickly! Mat Hayward

A lot of the images Adobe picked from my port are regular sellers on other sites that earn me more in 12 months than the 5$ Adobe is offering. No one is going to pay for an image on one site that he can get for free on other sites. Another problem I see is similar-topic images. If I select one image of a certain topic that isn't doing too well for me, but have another in my port that sells regularly, people might go for the free alternative and I will miss out on sales.
I'll take a closer look once the filter for nominated images is up, because right now it's really a hassle to go through pages and pages of images to find the nominated ones. Not sue what to do with this yet. Once I filter out all my regular sellers from other sites and also images of a similar topic as my regular sellers, there probably won't be many images left.
Thanks for your feedback. This will be a decision you must make for yourself to determine what makes the most sense for you from a business perspective. This is why you must pro-actively nominate your assets instead of being opted in automatically and why the nomination process is non-exclusive. I'll be sure to post an update when the filter is active so you can do some further investigation into what if any images you want to nominate. Thanks again, Mat

Hi Mat
I have 2666 eligible assets but why I can't see what are those
If I can't see those eligible assets I don't want to nominate anything.
Those can be files that earn me much more then 5$ weekly, not yearly so...
Let us see and choose them first, before nomination.
Thanks for the comments @PanicAttack. You can see the files available for nomination right now. It will get even easier to see them in a few hours <knock on wood>. To see them now, scroll through your pages in the Dashboard section. You'll see a small button in the lower right corner of the preview file that says "nominate." This is your toggle switch if you want to nominate (or un-nominate) individual files one by one. Later today, there will be a filter in place in the dashboard where you can view only your eligible files which will simplify this process. You brought up a very important point, we do not want, nor will we accept your best selling assets. No images with more than 4 downloads in the past 12 months are eligible. Keep the questions coming, Mat Hayward
