Is The "The Flickr Collection on Getty Images" Page In Need Of Updation?

personne.de.chandigarh says:

Why is it the page "The Flickr Collection on Getty Images" continues to state, "Help us grow the collection by submitting your incredible photos to the Getty Images Call for Artists group", whereas the opening page of "Getty Images Call for Artists" states, "ANNOUNCEMENT 1 March 2012:As you are probably aware, we have not been accepting new submissions via this group since last July. We have now made the decision to make that closure permanent, and also close down the Discussion forum in this group"?

I posted about that in the official Getty Group.

this was already reported multiple times to Getty in the past, and nothing has happen. Getty does not seem to be interested in fixing the outdated info on their Flickr pages.

Let's hope they will update the outdated info in this page.

Getty now have editors and curators that scouts flickr and invite flickr members when they find images suitable for their stock collections. There is no way for flickr members to submit their work to Getty.

I think it's Flickr that needs to update the page.

They should also update this faq:

"..Flickr that needs to update.."
I thought so too. Getty have already updated the group page by posting that notice.

Getting Getty to review their 'pool closure' may also be a good thing.

loupiote (Old Skool) pro says:

you also need to update this page: www.flickr.com/gettyimages

(The "Getty Images Call for Artists" flickr group is permanently closed)

also, you might want to notify Getty that, on the page linked by flickr that describes the Flickr Collection on the Getty site:
www.gettyimages.com/Creative/Frontdoor/FlickrPhotos?isour...

the link "Browse the full Flickr collection" (bottom left of the page above) leads to a page that says:
We found (0) Creative image search results

So getty should either remove that "Browse the full Flickr collection", or fix it so that it works.

Getty do keep tweeting that Flickr members should make sets. It 'd be of help, to those who might wish to make pictures available to Getty, if such messages appeared in Getty groups/page on Flickr itself.
