Welcome to HiResCovers.NET

[Bazzah]

This section is only for members that feel they have the ability to contribute to the site, with their art work on a regular basis.

• All members 'proving themselves' will be will be considered for the contributor group, this will be discussed and voted on by all artists and staff of HiresCovers a majority vote will be the final decision on whether you are promoted to contributor or not. (voting will remain anonymous)

• We encourage ALL current members involved in the approval process to give honest criticism. This is your site, we want your opinions, your vote counts.

• There are reasons beyond number of uploads why you might not get approved as a contributor right away, you can however wait until you have uploaded more work and re-apply.

• You must be a recently active member making regular contributions over several weeks, without rejections in approvals, in order to apply for contributor status.

• New contributors will also be monitored for regular uploads. If we feel you are not regularly contributing, after becoming a contributor, we reserve the right to remove your contributor access at our discretion. This is to prevent members gaining free access to the site, without continuing to contribute.

• If you do not make a group this time, we encourage you to become more involved in the community here and utilize the WIP section, and then after some time passes try again when you have more experience.

• All label submissions for contributor status must be unique (in our opinion) ie no similar versions in the gallery already.

• Minimalist covers or labels will NOT be considered for Contributor status. This decision is at the admins discretion, on what qualifies as minimalist. This includes downloaded scanned cover art. Scanned cover art must be scanned and fixed by the member wishing to become a contributor.

• Images must be up to site standards. For more information, see the site rules.

• Members that have had too many covers or labels rejected may not be accepted for contributor status.

• Admin reserve the right to decline contributor status, for reasons not explained above, if we feel it is in the best interest of HiResCovers.

If you decide you are ready to try and the above conditions are met then:

• Please create one thread in the Prove Yourself Forum (see link below).

• Images being considered for contributor status, must be your own work and have been recently added to the gallery and not used in conjunction with any previous contributor status request. Covers must either be custom artwork, or scanned covers. If you are using scanned covers, they must have been scanned and edited by yourself. Downloading already scanned material, and/or fronts and backs and pasting them together will not quality.

• Only custom made labels will be considered towards proving yourself as a contributor. Poster art, fan art will not qualify.

• Images must be full size, and uploaded to the gallery, then linked to individually in your thread. Please make sure you use the link in the file information, not the browser. (Browser address bar will link to a different image) How To Link Gallery Images

• You must supply at least 8 cover images, or 24 labels on each request. If you are posting both labels and covers, then 3 labels are the equivalent to one cover. (For example, 6 covers and 6 labels).

• Please do not create a thread unless you have enough links to supply and have been active long enough.

• Covers or labels belonging to a set will only count as one cover and/or label. For example, if you have covers for several seasons of the same show, only one cover will be counted towards proving yourself. (This does not apply to scanned art work). To clarify, a if you have two labels for Aliens, where the logos/title treatment/legals are the same, but a different poster has been pasted as the background, this will count as one point. However, if the background image is custom artwork this would count as two points. The same with two covers for Aliens. If they use the same template, they will count as one cover (three points). It is down to site staff's discretion.

Good luck!

If you are not approved then please wait a few weeks before trying again.

*If you are promoted to the contributors group, this means you must upload regularly. If you are not seen to be contributing to the site, you may have your account returned to a normal member. This is to control members uploading a few covers to gain free membership, then not contributing any further. Please read this topic for more information on contributor verification.
