Submitting content for your personal web pages
You might have noticed that some LAS members have their own profile pages linked from the members’ list. This feature is available to all members. Profile pages are completely optional but it would be nice to see as many members as possible taking part.
A few members pages are already complete, see the members’ list or view any completed page in the list.
If you wish to have your own profile page, the submission details are listed below…
PLEASE NOTE: Creating and maintaining these new pages will require quite a lot of work , content will not normally be accepted outside of these guidelines – your patience is very much appreciated. Please read the whole page before submitting.
Submitting images for profile pages
Please submit up to 10 images for the website in the following manner.
All submitted images should have the width set to exactly 1200px (please do not scale smaller images up). Resising advice below…

Submitting biographical and other text
Unfortunately, it is beyond the scope of the website administration to be able to include and update C.V. type material or lists of exhibitions etc. on your personal profile page and we ask that you only submit a brief statement about yourself and your work (300-ish words).
Please include a brief history and insight to your background, what influences your work etc.
If you wish, we can also include links to your websites and social media etc.
Please be aware that if you want your email address published on the web page you will probably be subject to receiving junk mail from various dubious sources. I recommend you do not publish direct contact details.
Send these details in your email
(Please do not send as Word or other attachments apart from images).
When finished Send emails to: admin@lincolnshireartistssociety.org
