I have found following statements in the SS policy however I'm still confused. When submitting renderings\illustrations I understand the first category I choose must be "Illustrations/Clip-Art" but what about the 2nd one? Can it be only "Abstract" or "Backgrounds/Textures" or it can be any other like "Poeple"? Please help.

Illustrations/Clip-Art - ANYTHING THAT IS NOT A PHOTO. You must list in this category FIRST if you have images that are not photos. Illustrations should not be put in photographic categories such as People or Animals. (*The only other categories that may be used for illustrations are Backgrounds/Textures and Abstract*.)

Do choose the correct category. If your image cannot fit into two appropriate categories, please only choose one. (*Illustrators: Illustrations go only in the Illustration category.*)

and here's what I've found in FAQ - I'm really confused...


Do you accept illustrations or 3D renders?
Yes! You will find several in our catalog. Feel free to upload them. You are allowed two categories -- one must be Illustrations/Clip Art, the other category can be chosen by you depending on the subject matter of the image.

It is a bit confusing - the statement in the FAQ gives the current policy, but it looks like they forgot to change the wording on the other page. Always tick the Illustrations/Clip Art box AND choose Illustrations/Clip Art as your first category. After that you can put any of the other categories as your second choice, as long as it applies to the image. Hope that helps :)

When I first joined it said that illustrations could only go in the one illustrations category. Now that this has changed can I go and edit my older images to put them into another category as well?

Great, thank you! BTW.Yes, as far as I know you can change category of your existing images.
