Is it me or is there something else going on? So far it's more or less a strike out session with them. Not just that I get denied but rather I do not hear anything back at all unless I follow up with them and this is from the time I put the initial application in up till even a month or two later nothing on their end. Even if I follow up with them I still never get a denied or rejected just a "we will check on that" or a "no news yet".

If this was just a single event or two I would be more understanding but at this point I'm a little frusted and wonder what other peoples experience with this are to see if this is just how it works with them or is there something else? I have been approved for one event and denied for one event. The rest go into some black hole someplace.

What I really don't understand is one some of these events I've spoken to the promo person and they said all is fine, all I need is to have an editor say I'm good and then I'll be on the list. Everytime a message was sent there was a nice quick prompt reply and this is for multiple emails. I send the info to shutterstock and next thing I know is they say "still waiting for a reply" weeks later, yet I had replies within hours usually.

Sorry just a bit of frustration at this as I like the idea behind the program and would love to use it, but it seems as this point it's not even worth the effort and I would rather try make it work, but if this is par for the course I don't know if I can.

I hear this all the time, also experienced the same myself. They shouldnt call it red carpet as its not classy from their end at all.
