I am retired but would like to show my images in Getty Images. I have tried to send an email to them registering and giving a URL to my set of ten images on Flickr for appraisal as they ask for. Unfortunately the email keeps bouncing saying unable to deliver. I have tried to register but some questions are related to businesses so the questions are not relevant to me as I am retired. Is all this possible or do I have to wait for a invite from them via Flickr? Is it possible to upload images to Getty without an invitation?
 
If the email bounces unable to deliver then the problem is quite simple.. you are using the wrong email... seriously.. nothing to do with the email content...

Put some images in the Getty Call For Artists Flickr group. They will get looked at eventually. Of course there is no guarantee that they will want to sell them.

There's a section on the Flickr Help pages about how to submit to Getty through Flickr, there's a very precise process to follow and it's not the quickest. There are lots of people with "___ Photography" as there username on Flickr, and a lot of them want a piece of the Getty action.. ..

As Tony says.
 
Thanks I checked out the help page and it seems that submissions are closed for a while due to too many images being sent. Nevertheless I have joined the Flickr contributors group and will try later in the year.

Purely for info regarding my original post these are the addresses I went to. The first thing I did was go here and try to submit images.
Join our Flickr collection | Getty Images UK

Then filled out the questionnaire and submitted a link to my Flickr set of ten images.

Obviously it didn't work! :(
