Each rejection includes a short explanation to help you understand what needs to be corrected.

1. Common reasons for rejection
Images may be rejected for the following reasons:

A) Releases
If your image contains a person as the main subject, a valid Model Release is required.

B) Content rules
Images that violate platform rules will be rejected, including:
• pornographic content
• hate-related content

C) Quality
Images must meet minimum quality standards.

While slightly reduced quality may be accepted for educational or editorial purposes, images with poor quality will be rejected. Final decisions are made by the moderator.
