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.

Your links are in there as well.
I can find more as well.
And they are having some problems from the way things are going from what I have seen and read.
