4 months waiting yet no approval

[Diogenes Santana]

Hello everyone,

As soon the pandemic started, i was sent home and had a free time to put on new ideas. I started making some ultra detailed isometric illustrations of my city (São Paulo). Some of it got so big that i actually had to divide them in smaller pieces to make them more comercialized.
I uploaded 4 of them and only one was approved. 3 of them are still waiting, and after 4 months, they are still there!
I dont know how the curators see it, but is it possible that my arts somehow had been forgotten there? 
The sad thing is that this week is the 470 anniversary of the city, and i might be missing some download opportunities (franckly, they are one of my best and sharpest jobs).

Please, somebody help me!

If the 470th anniversary is this week, and buyers needed assets for that, they would have needed them a few weeks ago. So I think you missed that boat, even if your assets were accepted tomorrow. But yeah, 4 months seems like a long time (if you don't mean 3 months and 1 day, since Adobe rounds up by months after every 30 days).

Upload to other stocks, not only Adobe, that may help not to miss opportunity all together

yes i have them on Istock actually.

Did you upload and submit them immediatly? 4 months is indeed a too long time (even three are too long). I don't know for today, but 3 months ago, vector assets still had a nice waiting time for about a week or two.

I agree with @daniellei4510 , the anniversary opportunity is passed. 

You need to contact contributor support for help on this. https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/Need-Help-Contact-Us.html

thanks! i will do that! I also have the same illustrations on istock... I started on adobe stock about 6 months ago or less, and one thing i have learned from here is that the approvals take longer .... i missed all my christmas  collection too, i started it in november. 🙂
Despite of that, i am liking it so far.

You will need to time your assets to get them approved between half a year and three month before the event. Professionals are working in advance of what comes, not days before the event. 

Adobe stock currently has a problem of predictably. That is because many contributors are submitting a lot of assets since Adobe allowed generative AI submissions. That puts a lot of stress on the moderation process.

Thanks you for the advice. I am used to Istock and Shutterstock, their approval doesnt last more than 24 hours, sometimes it may last 3-4 days, but it is rare... Also they launch campaings for the events a month or two before... For the christmas, i made the same art for Istock campaigns and i also uploaded them here. They were approved in january.  
Anyway, i am learning their time. Now I know it must be many months before!
Have a nice week
