Hello Adobe Team,
I’m a contributor from Mexico and I’ve already had more than 100 images accepted. However, the editorial submission option still does not appear in my dashboard.
Could you please let me know if there’s a delay, or if any additional steps are needed to enable editorial uploads?
Thank you very much.

You have misunderstood the requirement to be able to submit Illustrative Editorial images. Here's what the help page says:

Who can submit illustrative editorial?

Contributors with 100 or more downloads in their account history can submit illustrative editorial content. If you’re in this group, you can use the Illustrative Editorial checkbox in the Uploaded Files tab.

There is no Adobe team here and you need to have 100 sales, not accepted assets.

Not 100 accepted.

100 or more DOWNLOADS in your account history.

How many assets have you sold so far?

Illustrative Editorial content is limited to use in journalism. For this reason, it has less appeal to customers and generates fewer sales. See restrictions below.
