Question About Video Nominations in Adobe Stock.

Hello Adobe Stock Contributors,

I would like to know more about the video nomination process in the Adobe Stock Community.

How does the video nomination process work? Are nominated videos selected based on sales performance, content quality, originality, or market demand? Is there any specific way for contributors to nominate their own videos or get their videos considered for nomination?

I would appreciate it if experienced contributors or Adobe Stock team members could share their insights.

Thank you!

    If you’re asking about the FREE COLLECTION, see the FAQ below. 

    https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/additional-earning-opportunities/free-collection-faq.html

    Selection is based on what Adobe needs to round out the collection.

    Also, don’t nominate any assets that you can’t commit to the full term. Once accepted into the collection, you can’t withdraw them. 

     

    Good luck.

    It’s suspected that nominated assets are randomly chosen via an algorithm, while accepted selections are chosen manually. There is no guarantee as well that some or even any of the nominated assets will be chosen for inclusion in the free collection. And no, contributors can not nominate with own assets.

    Adobe has not communicated how assets are selected for the free stock program, other than they must have sold sell than 5 times in the past year. There’s nothing you can do to influence the process.
