Hi, I am about to submit my first 10 raster illustrations for approval. I have read on the forums that people are selecting illustrations/clip art from the first category, but there is no option for this in the drop down box for categories 1 and 2. There is the option to select yes in the illustrations/clip art box but nothing in the first two categories. Can anyone please advise? thanks, jacqui.

The instructions SS provide are out of date (And have been for some time).

Tick the illustration/clip art box. Failure to do so will result in automatic rejection.

When you upload the EPS vector files, this option will be greyed out. Just select the categories as normal.

Good luck!

Hi. This is what it should look like - under Category 1 and Category 2 you choose the theme which best describes the content of your image and then you just choose "Yes" under the Illustr./Clip-Art option.

Better be careful when choosing the categories, I recently got a reject after I submitted a summer beach image and I chose "Holidays" as one of the categories. The reviewer rejected it saying this category can be used only for holiday events, not summer holidays.. and I thought they dont pay much attention to categories, apparently I was wrong :)

Thankyou both for your help/advice. I understand now. I have also just managed to find something about the new changes for categories regarding this. So it is all making sense now :) thanks again, jacqui.

oh thank you! you might have spared me a rejaction!
yesterday i submitted a vacation illustration and checked the "holiday" category. so now i quickly changed it.
"subarashii" is japanese for "wonderful", right? so subarashii indeed! :)

right, thats the meaning :) Actually I recalled then thats it is mentioned in the Submitter Guidelines in the section for Categories that vacations dont fall under Holidays.. I just didnt realize when I was submitting.. Glad it helped :)
