Protecting children on the One Million Masterpiece

A few people have been wondering how we plan to protect children against images of an adult nature, and against unwanted attention from other artists.

We’ve thought long and hard about this, prompted by a conversation with the guys at Save the Children and the fact that we want to get schools involved in the project.

So, the systems we have in place are:

1) Under 18’s cannot receive email messages from other users, and have no access to the instant message system

2) Pictures declared as not suitable for children will be blurred in the picture viewer and on the profile pages. The pictures will be printed on the final canvas in full, however online they will remain obscured

3) Artists who fail to declare adult content can be reported to a moderator by any member of the project

4) If these artists fail to comply with the project rules and keep their image declared will find their account deleted.

This project is for everyone, and we welcome pictures of all varieties, so long as these simple rules are followed!
