Thu, 12 Nov 2009 Getty launches call for artists through Flickr

Getty Images editors then trawled Flickr to select from these images

Digital Arts staff Digital Arts Magazine

A year into its partnership with Flickr, stock library Getty Images has launched a call for Flickr contributors to put forward their images to be considered for Getty.

Until now, with the Flickr Collection, uploaders to Flickr could set their account settings to indicate whether they'd be happy for Getty Images to contact them should it wish to license their images.

Getty Images editors then trawled Flickr to select from these images; there was no way for Flickr contributors to directly present their work to Getty editors for consideration.

With the launch of the formal Call for Artists, the process has shifted significantly: Flickr members who would like their work to be considered should upload 10 images that they consider to be their finest to the Call for Artists Flickr group. Getty will assess the style, subject matter and technical skill.

If some or all of the photos – or other images from your photostream – are selected for the Flickr Collection on Getty Images, you will receive an invitation via Flickrmail.

This invitation will clearly show Getty Images’ initial selection of images and introduce the enrollment process.

For full submission guidelines visit the Getty Images Call for Artists group on Flickr.
