She doesn't say 2016 in there. She just mentions the Call To Artists as it is right now and the numbers that were received during that period in the past. Though I would not assume it will start again earlier next year, I would also not take this as an assurance it will open again in June.

I really don't know what will happen, probably you know better. But the interview question was:
"Being able to say “I am a Stocksy contributor” has become a sign of pride and creativity. How many contributors are you planning to accept in 2016? What do you recommend applicants to increase their chances of success in joining your ranks?"

If you shoot food, send those shots that look like they come from Jamie Oliver's magazine. If you shoot hipsters or lifestyle, make sure they as good as from Kinfolk etc. If you shoot travel, landscape or wildlife; well look at Lonely Planet or NatGeo for reference. My point is, don't send stuff that you think look good only on flyers or banners, but good enough for editorial section in popular magazines. Nothing wrong with those photos for flyers and banners, but you can save them later after you got in :).

Stocksy doesn't offer editorial licensing. Stocksy favors realistic, editorial STYLE of photos.

Anonystocksy:
Hey guys, apologies for the late reply, thanks to all that commented, it is very helpful. I have read the interview and it doesn't instil me with confidence. I don't have a large portfolio and I my style might not be as consistent as they need it to be. I want to start from scratch, and not sure if that will help my case. I do not want to change my style, I want to return to how I used to shoot, but those photos are not present in an on-line portfolio.
I will see how it goes, thanks again.
