Q: Can anybody submit images?
A: Yes.
Q: What kind of images are you looking for?
A: We post regular tweets describing the kind of images we're after. Check out twitter: @GettyImagesWant
Q: Are there any types of images you can't accept?
A: We don’t accept images of any recognisable people or private property unless proper releases are available for commercial use. So we can’t accept images of celebrities, sports teams, products etc. "Street shots" or any images with people where you can’t provide a release also won’t work. For all images, you need to be the original producer and copyright holder of anything you submit".
Q: How will I know if my images have been accepted?
A: If we accept your images, we'll send you a note via Flickr within 60 days explaining the next steps. Because we get so many submissions, we can only respond to successful candidates.
Q: Who can I talk to about my submission?
A: Unfortunately, due to the volume of work, we don't have a way to offer individual feedback. However, if your images are accepted, please join the Flickr forum to chat with fellow Flickrites.
Q: Once I'm in, is there any help to market my images?
A: Yes. We have a whole toolkit available. Plus, we regularly feature artists. To find out how to get featured, email agencyzone@gettyimages.com
