This month has surprised me after all. Some news, good news and of course "exciting" news. For those who have not yet noticed.
Adobestock's new nomination for the Free Collection against one-time payment goes into the 2nd round in 2022.

123rf just automatically pushed everyone's portfolio into the "unlimited-downloads" collection.

Shutterstock continues to be crap.

PNG is promising. But so far I've only seen it on Adobestock and an other small german agency with webp images. I'm still waiting, especially because I don't have EXIF in the data. But at least something is happening. Only Shutterstok would not get anything from me. They screwed it up for me, just like 123rf and istock.. nevermind istock anymore.

Have I missed something else?

They didn't say "illustrations only" in the email sent out Thursday, but looking at what was eligible in my account, that's what it appears they're including in this round.

I distinctly remember Mat saying there was not going to be a second round, multiple times even.
I guess we can take his remarks with a pinch of salt next time then (even if it is just illustrations).

thanks, that may be the reason - nothing shows up on my dashboard, but I got a fair number accepted on the 'first' round

It's not just illustrations.
I have no illustrations in my port, but I have one photo requested this round.

How do you know which files they want (I wont be contributing but wondering). I have the message and a number on my dashboard but no indication of which ones they are.

EDIT. Never mind, found the tick box
