Stocksy / Re: Call To Artists is Open!
« on: March 12, 2019, 20:00 »
The email just in. It's a big no. Bu at least this time they gave explanation. They felt my images are a little much like a stock. They also say I should improve my white balance and post process. They want most accurate possible skin tone. Fair enough I guess, cause I'm color blind. I should buy those grey card soon.
Good luck to anyone here still wait for response.

Thanks Gillian
Anyway, I thought the review process is shorter after reading a few comments here. Guess I need to be more patience.

I applied again last month. Today is exactly one month since the email that said my application is complete. Still no news from them.

Below is a screenshot of my application pages. Constructive feedback would be appreciated.

You cant upload more than 100 photos in your application...

Are you not uploading elsewhere?

I am but I dont understand what this has to do with my stocksy application?

Ask yourself how they would know if you can upload good work week after week month on month without assessing that over a 3-4 month period.  They need to know that new members are going to be productive, or else they have to do the whole thing again.

I left some of the information blank on the beginnning, thinking I could fill them later. But no, there's no way to edit the profile. I cant enter my instagram name and other social media later. Surely after wait for almost five months I was thinking maybe I was on their shortlist. But no, they dont explain anything when they reject me. Was it because my images sucks or because the absence of social media, there's no way to know.

Most of us who apply and report in this forum have no hate toward stocksy. We just simply confuse, and looking for some information, what is really needed to be accepted. Because we want to be in, and hoping that some people who are already in, would bring some insider information.

It seems that they're not sure what they're looking for. A trained editor would have known if the applicant have portolio that fit with stocksy within minutes, so why wait for four months for rejection? If the seat is limited, and the applicant is huge, why are they still open the application?

We know that stocksy receive a huge applicants and only so much quota left for contributors.
I understand they might need some time to sort things out.
But what I dont understand, if they find some shortlist/candidates who already submit, why do they still open the application. On the other hand, if they're still looking for the right contributors to fit their collections, why they dont reject the old applicant first?
I just edit my image submissions and change some images into Non Exclusive and send them to another agency.  Because 3 months is a little too long for those images to wait.

Everyone keeps talking about pictures on hold. It is not what they ask for. We are free to use those images and sell them on other sites while we aren't part of Stocksy yet. All of us who applied should've known that it's a long wait, there are similar threads to this one for the applications before. Nothing weird and nothing new.

@selasasore, are you still waiting? It's been exactly 80 days from my application today, including weekends

Today is 3 months because their email saying my application is completed was sent at September 18th.

I just got my rejection notice
Too bad

I'm sorry to hear that. Can you still open the image manager on stocksy after the rejection? Have you try upload new images and give it a second try?

Tell me more about the 1,000-person cap on membership.

BW: There is, yes. We're at 900 photographers, right now.



How do photographers become Stocksy members?
BW: So far, everyone has joined up organically. We have an open application process half of the year, from June until the end of December. On average, over the last three years, we've gotten about 5,000 applications each year. That is why we close it down for six monthsto sift through all the applications.

What I understood from that article, there's only 100 seats left for new contributor.

It's been two months since my submission and still no news from them. Is anyone here get reply from them?

How many contributor they will accept this year? If its only ten or less, then it will be really hard competition.
