I have had all three of the photos I tried to submit recently rejected and really starting to feel like I won't bother again. I'd consider myself a decent photographer and the photos I posted were similar in the type of thing they contained to others, and in line with the brief too. I posted two pictures of my kids eating the goodness snacks, in this case the tortillas, and at the time no-one else had posted those being eaten so I thought it better to be original. I didn't show their faces but several other parents had done the same and had their pictures approved. Now with the knorr stockpots I made a gorgeous soup and put it into bowls and took a nice picture of it. In the caption I wrote exactly what the soup was and which of the stockpots I had used. Rejected again. I am royally miffed and don't think I will be submitting any more photos. Another thing that has happened is my ocado review got rejected and they told me to edit it and post the link again, you can't edit reviews on ocado! Instead I posted another review on another variety of stockpot, when I went to my bzzagent there was no longer the place to submit the URL so I emailed them saying this review I am sure meets your guidelines and here's the URL. This was a few days back and no response. I really feel like I'm wasting my time sometimes. Just like with Pinterest I really don't think that the bzzagent staff even know how these third party sites they tell you to post to, work xx

Exactly what I was thinking. Glad you posted. They don't make it clear what they want. I much preferred it in the old days. Even if they decided to be discretionary about the points and only award if really impressed but still accepted things people submitted I wouldn't mind. But when it gets rejected that is very negative feedback. If u thought someone had actually looked at ur effort but I think this is not the case either.

Do they have a minimum number of tasks per campaign, or just enough to get a big grin face. That's all I will be doing from now on.

Just had x2 good for dairy free and a reject for my knorr photo. Hmmm.
Looked on the knorr capture your culinary creations page for answers...
My photo was of beef casserole in a bowl with spoon on side of plate.
To get a pass I now think the photo has to include the package of which flavor you used or have a human in them.
Will try again with both in photo.

I think a person is the crucial ingredient in the photo, I posted a picture of the bowl of soup i made with the knorr stock pot packet by the side. It was rejected saying they want to see someone enjoying what you made. I was at hoem on my own, not very easy taking a photo of yourself eating soup!!

Went on today and found I had abput 6 small surveys to do!

There are quite a few pictures that have been approved that don't have a picture of the product or a person in though and it isn't clear at all that the picture has to include either, personally I think they are being a tad picky.

They are. They haven't replied when I raised my issue with them. Not very good really

Yup plus I don't particularly want to photography myself and plaster that on their site - had a photo rejected this week so won't bother again, I'm not going to make a huge effort to do their marketing for them all for only £3 worth of Free From food in return.

I'm new to Bzz and have never posted a photo and after reading this I'm glad I haven't bothered. I've got a score of 7.2 which is ok sin't it?
I guess I'll find out if I get more campaigns to do.
Its great to read all your comments. Thanks.

Mandy 7.2 is fine! I've had campaign offers with a score lower than that and I've never submitted a photo yet!

In other news I had about 6 mini surveys to do when I logged in today. Mainly about laundry although there was one about dairy avoidance!

Hello all!

:oStill haven't got round to picking any Lambrini cider up yet, it's just not the weather for chilled drinks anymore, give me a bottle of red anyday in winter

Sounds like lots of you are having problems with photos, don't think I'll bother with them.
