Question about Adobe Stock Free Collection Nomination

I have 530 eligible assets. I already nominated them for the Annual Free Collection,
but I noticed some contributors have turned on both Annual and Perpetual (Lifetime).

My question is:
Can I safely nominate my assets for both options at the same time?
Will Adobe choose one automatically, or could it cause any issues?

Those who have experience with this
What’s better: nominating for both, or only one collection?

I’d really appreciate your feedback.

Hi @Delower Stock ,

You need to read the agreement carefully and make the decision you are comfortable with. You need to understand that those selected for perpetual free collection are exclusive and must not be otherwise licensed. The amount Adobe pays you for for those selected for Perpetual Free collection will be the ultimate value of your work.

Once both buttons can actively turn on at the same time, there should not be a problem selecting both collections option for all your assets.

The content I nominated - these are on Shutterstock and the other stock sites, if I check the Perpetual Free Collection, will there be any problem with that account, meaning will these files then be exclusive?
