Our team at TALENTARENA is in charge of choosing the artists that are featured on our homepage. We are always on the look out for fresh and extraordinary talents. If you believe you have what it takes and we have not discovered your talent, contact us.

We want to promise you the whole nine yards. This is our complete version, yet we further aspire to develop our site to the same extent that our talents develop and to the quality our talents deserve. In the future there will be more features and enhancements to our site. Our offer will expand and will continuously be revised. If you have any ideas, advice or recommendations, just drop us a line via Feedback-Mail.

An artist is more than just its piece of art. Therefore, our ranking system is especially designed to take all factors of an artist into account. A simple one - to five - star ranking system could never help you as an artist foster and improve your talent. Not only your artwork but also your appearance and your potential will play a role. You lose points, if you are judged poorly.

The amount of points an artist has consists of the following factors:
- Judgment (profile, media, potential)
- Activity (judgment, messages, guestbook entries, profile updates)
- Fans (amount + points given by fans)
- Shop (purchases and sales)
- Recommendations (Registration via E-mail)
- Collecting and giving autographs

The factors are weighted differently. The more points you have, the more influence your judgment has on other artists. An autograph from a user with more points gives you more points as well.

Our arena is competitive. The shades of violet show the amount of points an artist has. If you run into an artist with deep violet shading, be sure to have your autograph book ready. If an artist has light violet shading you can help him or her foster and draw attention to their talent.

Spotter – promote, assess, comment on your favorite artists and collect autographs. Write messages to artists and friends and reward yourself with cash-In goodies.

Talent –present your work and yourself as an artist. Chose a category, show yourself off to the spotter and rule the rankings. Link yourself to your friends and give autographs.

Accounts can not be changed. Nonetheless, you can always apply for or register a second account.
