Although we would like to give the feedback, it is practically not possible as each footage is judged by multiple judges and there will be thousands of entries for the competition. 

Criteria for judging :

The footage has to be legal, stable, clear and technically sound. Technical aspects like lighting, resolution, framing & composition are considered. In addition, the footage has to be relatable to the audience and even better, if the footage tells a story.

You own the rights on the footage. But, by uploading your footage on our website, it is deemed that you have given us the consent to ‘submit’ the footage to third party stock footage companies and share the royalty with you upon the sale of the footage. Please refer to the Terms & Conditions. 

As an exclusive contributor to Getty Images, Aerologix earns royalty when the footage is sold on the Getty Images platform. Aerologix then shares the royalty with you.
