How to join the team that chooses Front Page Images (FPIs) on PurplePort
By Laura SJ FD, written 1730717648
We have a special team of volunteers called the FPI Selection Team who help PurplePort staff members manage and choose FPIs.
This small group of (just over 100) PurplePort members (sometimes known as "elves") includes models, MUAs, and photographers. Their varying backgrounds, image styles, and preferences ensure a wide selection of FPIs.
Join the FPI Selection Team
Anyone with an excellent eye for stunning images and who would like to help choose FPIs can apply to join the FPI Selection Team. There is no expectation of time commitment to be part of The FPI Selection Team; you can do this role whenever works for you!
Here's how to apply:
- Create a collection (20-30 images). These must be fantastic images that are not currently FPIs. Click here to learn more about image collections.
- Submit your finished collection. Create a support ticket to let us know you want to join the FPI Selection Team, and include a link to your image collection.
- We'll review your collection. If your images are along the right lines for the Front Page Image Collection, we'll add you to the FPI Selection Team!
We look forward to seeing your fabulous collections!
FAQs
What are FPIs?
These are images in the Front Page Image (FPI) Collection and are the most beautiful and inspiring images on PurplePort. We display FPIs on the logged-out homepage to showcase to visitors how talented our creative community is. Click here to learn more about how to get an FPI.
If I join the FPI Selection Team, can I still get an FPI?
Yes, of course! Joining the FPI Selection does not affect your eligibility for FPIs :)
Is 'suggesting' an image the same as choosing FPIs?
While any PurplePort member can 'suggest' an image for the front page, this is separate from choosing FPIs. Suggested images are added to a different collection (not to the front page). For one of these images to become an FPI, someone from our lovely FPI Selection Team must see it and choose it for the front page.
I'd like to know more about this. What can I do?
