Does Pond5 have any "Musical Quality" barriers?

Hi, I was looking to know if Pond5 has any additional requirements for Artists other than what's listed in the contributor portal.

I know our tracks require the proper names, filesizes, tags, etc. but I was wondering more about the composition and production of the music itself.

I believe my works that I want to sell are high quality, but I just wanted to know for sure before I attempt a submission, and something extra such as potentially vague "Quality Standards" might prevent a piece from passing the curation process.

I realize you posted this a while ago, but perhaps useful for others. The best way to find out, in my opinion, is to simply submit your tracks. The worst that can happen is that some, or all, will be rejected. Not very good for your self-confidence, I know, but nobody will see that except you and at least you'll know where you stand. Just my two cents :)

Hey, I know this an even longer while ago of a response, but yeah, thanks, I had wanted to bring those issues up because I had a pretty bad experience with a previous company (permanent rejection with no feedback or explanation, and no possibility of re-applying), and I wanted to make sure I did things right this time around.

But yeah, you make a good point, so decided to just go ahead and make a few first submissions now. Hopefully Pond5 is willing to work with artists on stuff like the above, or at least more understanding if there's anything that needs to be changed.
