MASTERPOOL
A master portfolio is a portfolio nominated by Portfoliopool.com. The decisive factor for this honour is the quality of the portfolio. The artist behind a master portfolio is a member of the Masterpool.
The Masterpool is a carefully selected circle of portfoliopool users. Exceptionally talented users whose special accomplishments stand out in their field of work are admitted. Prerequisite for the admission is a portfolio of outstanding quality. All members of the masterpool enjoy special privileges. They occur on the cover page, are preferably listed in search requests and are given the rating “Member of Masterpool”.
Qualified users are being nominated and admitted to the Masterpool by the Portfoliopool Team. There is no need to make an application. Basic prerequisite for the membership in the Masterpool is an outstanding aptitude and a public portfolio.
No. Before you have not created a complete Portfoliopool portfolio, we can't make any decisions in this regard. A Masterpool membership is only available with a public portfolio.
No. Applications are pointless. The Portfoliopool Team decides if and when somebody is admitted to the Masterpool. Continiously inquiring is not going to help you. If somebody has great potential, we are going to discover that. Please don't push for it. This might backfire. ;-)
There is no guarantee for an everlasting membership in the Masterpool. Inevitable prerequisite for a long membership in the Masterpool is a carefully created and continiously updated Portfoliopool portfolio. No sweet without sweat. Don't rely on your Red Dots.
