We are sorry to inform you that your photograph was not accepted because a similar or identical file was already submitted to Fotolia; or because Fotolia has already received an overwhelming supply of high quality images of this nature.
Some subjects have already been covered sufficiently by contributors and are satisfactorily represented in our database.
For these subjects, new images must bring something completely new compared to the images already online in order to be accepted.
When similar photographs are submitted, we will only approve files that meet technical or aesthetic requirements, and match the selected category.
For an image series, please submit photographs that are different enough to allow different applications.
For example, the same model in different situations or with different expressions; or for illustrations, the same design must be provided with different symbols.
For similar subjects with different colours, please limit the variants to 6 colours.
If you selected the free option during the upload process, Fotolia will inform you if your photo has been integrated to into this section.
