Hello everyone!
For those unfamiliar with 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.
We have a special team of volunteers called The FPI Selection Team (sometimes known as "elves") who help PurplePort staff members manage and choose FPIs. They are a group of just over 100 PurplePort members (including models, MUAs, and photographers) with varying backgrounds, image styles, and preferences to ensure a wide selection of 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.
If you have an excellent eye for stunning images and would like to help choose FPIs, here is how you can apply to join the FPI Selection Team:
- 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!
There is no expectation of time commitment to be part of The FPI Selection Team; you can do this role whenever works for you!
Plus, joining the FPI Selection will not affect your eligibility for FPIs :)
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we look forward to seeing your fabulous collections!
