Contributor by Getty Images for Android

Getty Images Mobile — New Contributor Overview

New Contributor is a complimentary Android application from Getty Images that helps existing Getty Images and iStock contributors submit creative royalty-free stills. The tool focuses exclusively on creative still photography submissions and is intended to simplify the upload and tracking process for active contributors.

Main capabilities

• Does not accept editorial, illustration, or video submissions at this time, limiting the app to creative stills only.
• Lets contributors attach required model and property release forms directly to eligible images.
• Offers the ability to begin a creative RF stills submission in the app and complete it later in ESP.
• Provides visibility into current submission statuses so contributors can track progress.
• Enables users to browse shoot briefs and respond with images tailored to those assignments.
• Allows uploading of any other creative still images contributors wish to submit, not just brief responses.
• Is free to download and designed for Android devices.
• Permits reviewing past creative still submissions regardless of whether they were sent via the mobile app, ESP, or an approved third-party tool.

How a typical submission flows

Start in the app by selecting a shoot brief or choosing images from your device. Attach model/property releases if necessary, then submit as a creative RF still. If you prefer, save the draft and finish or finalize the submission in ESP later. After submission, monitor the status updates inside the app to see reviews and outcomes.

Who should use it

This app is best suited for current Getty Images and iStock contributors who frequently supply creative, royalty-free still photography and want a streamlined, mobile-first submission route. It is not appropriate for contributors focused on editorial imagery, illustrations, or video.

Summary evaluation

Overall, New Contributor offers a straightforward, easy-to-navigate submission experience for creative stills. Its integration with release attachments and ESP continuation makes it a convenient option for contributors who need a mobile workflow for RF still photography.
