We are updating the sections of the site that list professionals, artists, communities and educational sites related to Blender.

The guidelines for the sections are as follows

All sites need to be your own domain name, not a free site.  The quality of the site needs to such that it reflects well on the Blender Foundation to list it, this is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all artists, educators, and professionals related to Blender.

1) Professionals - this section is for those offering professional services related to Blender, such as website design, animation services, etc.

Professionals should have sufficient credentials on their website so they can be verified to be real people and/or an actual registered legal entity.

2) Artists - this is for artists using Blender - a site suitable for this section should have a gallery of artwork done by the artist in Blender (ie not a site dedicated primarily to 2D work, and not a site dedicated to primarily work done in other 3D applications) , a least some of the art should be comparable in quality to what can be seen in the gallery hosted at blender.org (ie a beginning artist is not a suitable candidate for being listed).

3) Education - this is for substantial educational resources related to Blender - either as part of educational courses, or for professional training.

4) Community - this is for community oriented sites such as blenderartists.org - the site should offer something of benefit to the blender community that isn't already available at other blender community sites - such as offering an additional language for discussing blender.
