Nomination

Hello everyone,

I have received a nomination for my assets to be included in the Free Collection. When I select the $10 Perpetual option, the $4 Annual option also automatically turns on (as you can see in the attached screenshot).

Since all of my nominated files are vectors, I am a bit confused:

Should I keep both options checked, or only the $10 one?

If both are checked, which program will Adobe apply my assets to?

Is it completely safe for my account to leave both checked?


I’d really appreciate any clarification or advice from experienced contributors who have gone through this step before.

Thank you!

Choose both. I suppose that Adobe has a budget on how much they want to spend acquiring assets for the Free Collection, and that probably dictates which assets get selected. Anyway, the experience of most Contributors is that only a small percentage of nominated Assets are selected; so don't spend too much time agonizing over it.

If you want to donate your asset perpetually to the free collection, select indeed both. Adobe chooses. If you do not want the asset to be included in the perpetual free collection, leave that one checked off. You will need to understand the consequences of the perpetual addition, however. I check that only, if I do not expect getting 10 bucks in the next years for this asset.
