Why free collections button are missing on my dashboard now

[ken paul291716501old]

I ve been invited to nominate some assets. I choose the annual and perpetual to all my nominated assets its been a month now of waiting but today the button is missing. Did all of my nominated assets are not accepted or its just a bug?

Nomination phase is over. Now comes the selection phase, where Adobe selects the assets it want to add to the free collection. You will get an e-mail when that phase is over.

I received an email today that my nominated video was not selected to be included in Free collection.

The disappearance of the button does not mean that your assets have been rejected. It most likely means that Adobe has completed its review and the nomination option is no longer active.
If they have been accepted, you will see the licenses appear in your account, but it will take a while. If not, it is more likely a system error.

It appears contributors are receiving emails as of now notifying them if their assets have been accepted or rejected for the free collection.

The button is gone because the nomination phase is closed. 

No more assets are being considered. 

Now wait patiently for the final decisions.

How long does the final decision will last?

[daniellei4510]

Some contributors are already receiving notices from Adobe if their assets have been accepted or rejected for the free collection.

We don't know, as long as it takes. 

Next week is the Thanksgiving holiday.  That could delay things.
