Submission rejected for “Similar Content” – need feedback on how to differentiate

Hi everyone,


I recently submitted a vector illustration titled “Happy New Year Reach New Heights Business Vision Illustration” and it was rejected with the reason “Similar content in our collection.”


The message says that my submission resembles content already available on Adobe Stock and that I need to provide more noticeable differentiation in composition, color, expression, or scenario.


I understand the guideline about avoiding repetitive or very similar content, but I would really appreciate some specific feedback from experienced contributors on what kind of changes would make a design like this acceptable.


Before I redo or delete the file, I would appreciate some guidance from those who have successfully passed similar New Year / business-themed vectors without rejection.


Thank you in advance for your help and time!

This refusal reason is giving issues to all of us, even the most experienced contributors. Check your title and keywords to include unique information there. It may very well be that the bot comparing the data issues a report based on that data to determine the similarity grade.
