The Artist Spotlight feature is now up and running again, back by popular demand.
Here is what we need to do:
1. Please PM me with a name if you want to nominate someone, ideally it should be an established member with a fairly large personal gallery, maybe someone you feel deserves a bit more attention, but still is fairly accomplished in their area of work. It needs to be an artist who is currently active on the site as providing feedback to someone who probably won't ever see it is rather futile.
2. Each member may only nominate two (2) artists each month.
3. Once a member has succeeded in becoming "Spotlighted Artist", their name and the names of members who nominated them will be placed in a separate list for future reference. The artist will not be eligible for spotlighted artist again until an appropriate amount of time has passed, or until there are no other artists left nominated who have not had a run being spotlighted.
4. 4.Previous Artists Spotlighted however, will be placed in the separate list under 'Other Stuff' on the left side.
Lauren, I am seeking artist's who are fairly well established on the site, and also have a fairly large gallery to browse through.
This could be someone who you believe deserves more attention but is still accomplished in their work or someone who is well noted on the site, but you feel deserves that extra 'shining light' cast on them!
~~~Nominate away!~~~
Thanks to all who have sent me nominations! Way to go!!!!!!
Anyone who wants to...PM me your nominations soon. The next 'Artist Spotlight' is soon to be chosen by the number of nominations they have. ;=)
Thanks to everyone who has already sent me their votes.
F.Y.I. ....the article announcing the next spotlighted artist has been written and submitted for the front page. *caedes is quite busy at this time and will approve/upload that article as soon as he possibly can. Thanks all for the nominations (keep them coming) and for your patience! :o)
Hear ye, hear ye.......nominations now being accepted for the next artist to be spotlighted. If your last nominee was NOT spotlighted, that vote will carry over to this spotlight & be counted. Rules are at the top of this discussion. ;=)

Verena, we have had an artist spotlighted for the past couple of weeks. Check the front page and read carefully the article that appears at the top of the page! You can help by submitting your nominations via PM to me.....remember, no more that two (2) nominations will be accepted per month from any individual. Anything above two (2) will be disregarded.
F.Y.I (again). ....the article announcing the next artist to be spotlighted has been written and submitted for the front page. *caedes is still quite busy and will approve/upload that article as soon as he possibly can. Thanks all for the nominations folks (keep them coming) and also for your patience! :o)
Nominations are being accepted for the next artist to be spotlighted~~~ just PM your nominations to me.
Any questions read the top article of this thread and if you are still not sure, just PM me & I will be happy to help you!
Thanks in advance for the nominees ;=)
Pierre, the next artist bio will be profiled in the next 3 weeks. There is a gap (due to *caedes work duties) from when I upload the bio to when it is posted.
I will be contacting the next nominee within a week, then await the bio, then post it......and let the anticipation build ;=)
F.Y.I~~~~the next artist to be spotlighted has been chosen, their bio received, and it has been submitted for approval/uploading by *caedes to the front page. Now it is just a matter of waiting to see who it might be ;=)
Don't forget, every member here is eligible to submit, to me, via PM, their nomination for the next artist to be spotlighted.
Please go to the top of the page for the guidelines for nominees if you are not already familiar with them.
Many, many thanks for all who have contributed names in the past.

It's that time again folks! Go gallery browsing, check to see who you think may deserve to be the next artist to be spotlighted! For rules etc, go to the top of this thread and for previous artists spotlighted (they are not eligible) go

Are you sure you're on the right thread, Les? I think you're thinking of LaurenGary's Save a Life Today Let's make sure that's coffee in that mug, bucko :O)
I sent my nominations for next month in right after the announcement for this month.
We dont make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

The Artist Spotlight is currently 'on break' and will resume in October.
Please continue to PM me the names of Artist's you would like to nominate & they will be recorded as usual.
The guidelines for nominating an artist are at the top of this discussion. Please do not hesitate to PM me with any questions.
Wow thats real rude whoever that was. Its a shame that it seams like someone gets enjoyment out of that. Sent my Pm to you Mimi. Cant wait to hear... Thanks for doing this.
<PicScout>
FYI..nominations have been/are being accepted at all times for the next artist to be spotlighted. Don't worry about which month it is......Each member may nominate two (2) artists each month.
Any questions, feel free to PM me.
Thanks :)
For some reason I thought this feature had been abandoned so I was thrilled today to log on and see DMK spotlighted. Great choice and a welcome return:)
Welllll ... I suppose some clarification is in order, insofar as the 'Artist spotlight Feature' versus that of 'The Art Gallery' that was proposed, is concerned.
Correct me if I am wrong here (trying to make this easy ... as in, yes or no type responses), it would appear that the 'Artist Spotlight Feature' is alive and well?
And on the above note, and with respect to the 'rules' regarding nominations ... still apply?
That said, I've sent you the names of two artists via PM, Mimi.
Annnnnd ...
Thanks for your time and efforts. Know that they are greatly appreciated. :o)
Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.

Here is a refresher course for anyone who may have forgotten the parameters for nominating someone:
1. Please PM me with a name if you want to nominate someone, ideally it should be an established member with a fairly large personal gallery, maybe someone you feel deserves a bit more attention, but still is fairly accomplished in their area of work. It needs to be an artist who is currently active on the site as providing feedback to someone who probably won't ever see it is rather futile.
2. Each member may only nominate two (2) artists each month.
3. Once a member has succeeded in becoming "Spotlighted Artist", their name and the names of members who nominated them will be placed in a separate list for future reference. The artist will not be eligible for spotlighted artist again until an appropriate amount of time has passed, or until there are no other artists left nominated who have not had a run being spotlighted.
4. 4.Previous Artists Spotlighted however, will be placed in the separate list under 'Other Stuff' on the left side under the Navigation Bar.
