Review process on Adobe Stock

I'm a contributor on Adobe Stock, and I'm having some issues with my submissions. I've submitted over 80 photos for review, and only 9 have been accepted so far. While I understand that the review process can take some time, many of my submissions have been pending for over two months now, and I haven't received any updates or feedback on the status of my submissions.

I've followed all the submission guidelines, including the technical specifications. However, I'm concerned that I'm doing something wrong or missing something in my submissions.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with their submissions on Adobe Stock? If so, how did you resolve them? I would appreciate any advice or suggestions on how I can improve my submissions and increase my chances of acceptance.

Welcome to the Comunity Forum; while you're here, take some time to peruse the many other recent posts on this subject. The huge influx of Generative AI assets, many of them from Contributors uploading hundreds, or even thousands at a time, has overwhelmed the Moderation staff, and the backlog is now up to 2 months or perhaps even more. I read a few days ago about someone who has waited 3 months. There's nothing you can do to hasten the process.

If you are doing something wrong, you will earn a refusal. As long as your submissions are still in the moderation queue, they haven't been processed yet. No need to be concerned.

Are you a new contributor?  What sort of assets are you submitting?

 

@RALPH_L is right, asset review time is a common topic of discussion right now.  2 months is the longest I've heard of, but more than 30 days is fairly common right now, especially for AI generated content.

Please take the time to read some of the other post. If you do, you will see several post perataining to review delays.

If you want advice on rejected photos or images, feel free to post an image in question.
