Shoot exclusive. If they accept any image from the shoot, you cannot submit elsewhere.

Hi Sean.
Do you know how long does it take to have a response
For Getty , I send my application one month ago and still no answer from them .

Forever, if you are not successful, they don't respond.

Really? My submission is still under review.... Do I still have some chance?

You cant submit the shoot ( or remove it ) anywhere else for the life of your contract.  Regardless of how many they accept or how poor sales are.

So you're saying that THE SHOT has to be exclusive, but you can send other shots (reasonably different from that one) and of course work for other agencies, am I right?

The problem in "exclusive" is "Exclusive photographer VS Exclusive photograph".

Here is what GI contract specifies:

"All Content submitted to Getty Images is on a Content exclusive basis. This means that Content submitted to Getty Images and any other content that is substantially the same (a �Similar�) may not be licensed to any third party unless Getty Images has notified you that Content and all of its Similars have been rejected"

"5.3 Similars. For Content from an Editorial Event, a Similar means an item of Content that is part of a package depicting one topic, issue or event and that is often but not necessarily taken at approximately the same location as other Content"

"On a non-exclusive basis, you may use Accepted Content and any Similars for promoting or documenting you and your work, provided that these uses do not compete with or limit the rights granted to Getty Images under the Agreement. You must obtain Getty Images� prior written consent to use Accepted Content on the cover of a self-promotional book to ensure that your use does not conflict with any licenses that Getty Images may have previously issued. Also on a non-exclusive basis, you may use Accepted Content that is available for license through a
royalty-free license model in connection with the sale by you of prints, t-shirts and other retail merchandise where the Accepted Content is the focus of the product, so long as you are not licensing or giving away rights to the Accepted Content for anything other than such merchandising. On a coexclusive basis you may use Accepted Content and any Similars for: (a) limited edition, signed and/or numbered fine art prints (though Getty Images may still sell and license art prints and other print products ); and (b) for Video originally appearing as part of an edited program, use within that edited program, including the sale or license as a complete cut of that edited program for television, film, commercial or documentary use."
