HI

I'm slightly dissapointed to read that from the 469 assets only ...7... were selected. And all of them are from last year selection.

So: yet another Adobe bug, consuming time from contributors. Or will the rest be selected later?

Anyone in the same situation?

Thanks for your awesome help and positive comments.

Hi @Werner22361781mr90 ,

It is my observation that Adobe select all files from among those having downloads that are eligible for selection for the Free Collection. After the nomination period then the actual selection for the Free Collection takes place. So the 469 files were eligible but the selection was not yet. The selection is after the nomination period. During the nomination period the amount would be shortlisted by contributors who opt out, or deselect files. It's unlikely that all nominated files would make it. In your case 7 did, congratulations.

Best wishes

There is no guarantee that your assets will enter the free pool. Why should that be a bug? If you are disapointed, don't select any assets next year.

Why is that consuming time? I add all assets, and unselect those that I do not want to enter.

It's not a bug. Many contributors are reporting a similar very low acceptance rate. I attribute it to the fact that there is a lot more competition as the database has grown dramatically in the past year. Adobe has not increased the size of the Free Collection, but they have many more assets from which to choose to populate that collection.

Why all this fuss about Adobe's curated FREE collection?

It's a very small subset of Stock's 200 million+ other assets.

If you qualify, you'll be notified in your Contributor panel.

Adobe hand picks assets to ensure there's a proper balance of categories between free and paid content.

If yours are accepted, they are featured free for 12 months. At the end of 12 months, Adobe may renew them for another 12 months unless you opt out of the free collection program.

How is any of this an Adobe bug?

Woops, did I said something wrong?

Yes I think it's a bug and in no way a hand picked process.

Why? Because last year a reasonable amount of the nominated was selected. Now , only the last year selected where re-selected and not all the +- 460 new ones.

Why the fuss? Because 5x469USD is quiet a bit of money.

Can I please ask you not to answer if you have no single clue what is the problem.

It's not a bug. There is no obligation for Adobe to select your assets, and when they select again what had been selected a year before, they do that. You are in no obligation to nominate any of your assets.

As there are more and more assets in the database, expect the number of selected assets to go down. The free collection is a teaser for users, and gets Adobe no earnings.
