MISSION: Farm Animals

We are looking to source images of farm animals in agricultural settings. The images should capture the essence of farm life and showcase the animals engaged in their everyday activities.  

• Upload 500-1000 images of one animal(s) per submission for this Mission.

• You can submit content for this mission up to 15 times, but each submission must only show 1 animal type per submission. 

• Groups of similar animal types are ok to submit for submissions. 

• It’s ok to reuse the same animal(s) for up to 3 Mission submissions but make sure you photograph them in different contexts (changing the location, lighting, or scenario) to maintain variety and avoid repetition. (e.g., cows in a barn, cows in a field, cows with their calves)   

• Submissions with the same animals over 3 times will result in them being rejected during the moderation process and contributors won’t be compensated for such submissions.  

• Title your submission as follows: 

       [animal type]-[description of subject) (e.g. brown cow with white spots             standing in a green field)  

• No need for metadata or post-processing.

• Images submitted to Missions should NOT be currently on Adobe Stock.  

• You will receive the payment displayed in the Adobe Stock Contributor Portal for each approved Mission submission. Please note, you will receive that total amount for each accepted Mission submission of 500-1000 assets.

We encourage photographers to capture authentic moments that reflect the natural behavior and environment of farm animals. 

• This Mission is for farm animals only, do not include any people in your submissions.  

• Avoid mixing groups of different kinds of animals. 

• Exclude any items such as collars or ID tags with potential intellectual property issues (e.g., farm logos or branding). Plain, indistinguishable items with no markings are acceptable.  

We are open to all types of animals as long as they are photographed in a farm/agriculture setting, see below for some common examples: 

• Dog/Cat (only in a farm/agricultural setting, not in a home) 

• Cow

• Pig 

• Chicken

• Lamb/Sheep/Goat 

• Rabbit

• Duck 

• Horse

Use natural or artificial lighting as available. 

Capture images in farm or agricultural settings, indoors or outdoors, to provide a diverse portrayal of farm life. Avoid locations of farms that have IP issues such as branding, logos or advertising on the walls behind the animals.  

• Include full-length, close-up, and medium shots.

• Vary crop, angle, aspect ratio, and camera angle. 

Avoid submitting exact duplicates. It’s okay for a series of pictures in each Mission to be somewhat similar but submitted pictures cannot be identical or nearly identical. We expect each image in a series to be unique to ensure we get as much variety as possible for AI/ML training purposes. Each picture should provide different information. Missions that have images that are too similar and repetitive will be rejected during the moderation process and contributors won’t be compensated for such submissions. 

Please see this link for in-depth information about submitting similar content.

• Technical quality.

• The subject matter NOT relevant to the Mission’s content brief.   

• Sharing the same models/subjects with other Mission contributors. 

• Similar content: images are identical or nearly identical (shot on burst mode). 

• Non-compliant: images have IP (intellectual property) or offensive issues.

• Images submitted on Adobe Stock already. 

• Payment processing for accepted submissions can take up to 15 business days.

• Submission deadline is at least until April 5, 2024, and may be extended. 

• Generative AI content is not accepted.

• Submitted files must be in JPEG format, ideally ~15MP.
