After the Game 01 final, artists will get their own pages: rating, league, awards and works. A page opens only with the artist’s consent, and every Game adds something to it, even if you are not in the top three.

Yes. After round one you compete in your own league, with artists at a similar level.
No. You can join the season at any Game. But to reach the Super Final through the season standings, you need to play several Games.
Place 1–3 in Gold or first in Silver in a season Game. Another route is two credited Games and a resulting league of Gold or Silver. A separate FPL points route will open once the threshold and accumulation period are announced.
The first Game is free for every new participant. The entry fee for later Games is published before they start.
A late work does not enter the competition, and the Game does not count toward the season. You can carry on out of competition: if you submit all works by the end of the Game, you still get the certificate.
Not always. It depends on the brief; child models are allowed.
Yes. The League is online, so you can join from any country.
AI and distorting edits are banned. If needed, we may ask for photos or video of the work in progress.
Online. Briefs and submissions go through your account on the website.
Every FPL certificate has a unique number and QR code. A client or employer can confirm it's genuine: enter the number here or point a phone camera at the QR code.
