A. Become a Junior Contributor
To add artworks on USEUM you must first become a Junior Contributor! In order to become one:
1. Sign up as an “Art Lover”, if you haven't done so already (Click here for all the things you can do as an Art Lover).
2. Collect 100 points to upgrade to Junior Contributor. As an Art Lover you can collect points by:
- Rating artworks (+1 point)
Rating is very imporant because it is one of the criteria that helps bring to the spotlight beautiful paintings and emerging artists.
- Tagging artworks (+5 points)
Tagging is the main tool for the description of all artworks and for their categorisation, therefore it is of utmost importance.
- Inviting your Friends to join USEUM (+100 points)
Spreading the word about USEUM is equally important as the more contributors on the platform the faster it grows.
