SEARCH INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR IMAGES:
This section asks for information that will be used on our search page for people to find your work. You have already entered your name above. Below you will choose your primary media categories and subcategories and enter keywords that describe your work. IMPORTANT: the categories you choose below MUST be consistent with the images you are submitting. That is, if if you do metal sculpture and oil paintings, but only submitted your metal sculpture, you MUST NOT choose "painting" as a media category and you must not choose "oil" as a material. We want viewers of the site to find what they are looking for and it's your responsibility to ensure that happens. Again, only choose categories that appear in your images! If you do not, extraneous categories will be removed from your search information.
PRIMARY MEDIA CATEGORIES:
Choose up to 3 media categories below consistent with the images you have submitted.

To choose more than one category, Control-click for Windows, Command-click for Mac. Do NOT choose more than 3 categories, only the first three will be used.


MEDIA SUBCATEGORIES:
Choose up to 3 materials you use in your work.

To choose more than one category, Control-click for Windows, Command-click for Mac. Do NOT choose more than 3 categories, only the first three will be used.

STYLE:
Choose up to 3 style categories that are consistent with your work.

To choose more than one category, Control-click for Windows, Command-click for Mac.

KEYWORDS:
Keywords are for the use of people who have a specific theme or interest beyond the general medium or subject. This category gives you the chance to provide every possible word that might pertain to your work. Words from your statements, words that further describe the medium, and anything else that can possibly help someone find your work can and should be included.
For example, if Titian were a member of our Circle, a link to his page would show up in the "paintings" category, and "oil" subcategory. If, for example, he had an image of his "Flaying of Marsyas" painting on his page, Titian could then add the words glazing, mythology, satyr, flaying, torture, blood, gory, gruesome, etc. to his keywords.

Important to note is that external search engines like Google, AltaVista, Yahoo, etc., will be searching the words you enter below so be sure to enter the most important words that describe your work. Most search engines only read the first 5 or so keywords so put your most important keywords first. Enter 5 to 10 words (without commas) in the space below:


TEASER:
What would you like the text under your name to say when you are found in the search engine? It should describe the work and be straightforward. For example, Leonardo daVinci might want his line to be, "realistic oil paintings". Jeff Koons might want, "sculptures and paintings that reveal truths about modern culture", I might want, "CT scans of toys". IMPORTANT!: this is not a place to make some sort of statement, you should tell people what they are about to see. Do not lead someone astray. If you have only water colors on the site, do not say you have anything else. Please limit yourself to 10 words or less.


LINKS ON YOUR PAGE:
In addition to a contact system that goes to your email, you have the opportunity to have a link to an external web site, AND up to two internal links (e.g. links to other pages within the site such as resume, statement, etc.). In this section you may choose what parts of the form you'd like to fill out. If you don't enter any info, none will be used on the site (i.e. there won't be a non-functional link to a resume for you if you do not submit a resume).

INTERNAL LINKS CHOOSE UP TO TWO:
You may only have two different internal links on your page so choose carefully. For example, you may have your resume, contact info, statement, etc. on another Web site, so you may decide to direct people there instead. Similarly, you may have a combined bio/statement so you would only need one link for both.


Do you want a link to your statement? Note that your statement should not contradict the images you are submitting for the site.

- please upload your statement using the Browse button below. We can only accept Microsoft Word (.doc), Rich Text Format (.rtf), or plain text (.txt) files. Name the files with your last name as you did for your images (e.g. davincistatement.txt).


Do you want a link to your resume?

- please upload your resume using the Browse button below. A PDF file is best, but we can accept Microsoft Word (.doc), Rich Text Format (.rtf), or plain text (.txt) files (sorry, no other formats than those). Name the files with your last name as you did for your images (e.g. davinciresume.txt).


Do you want a link to your biography?

- please upload your bio using the Browse button below. We can only accept Microsoft Word (.doc), Rich Text Format (.rtf), or plain text (.txt) files. Name the files with your last name as you did for your images (e.g. davincibio.txt).
