How it works
Approved content creators will be given access to the Middle Eye Media website where they can upload their own text, sound and video. They will be responsible for categorising and tagging their content in a manner that will appeal to the broadest audience. They will also decide how much of their content to put on open display to provide publishers with a sample of their work.
Unapproved content creators will have their work assessed by a team of experienced publishers and editors who will be responsible for either rejecting their submissions or revising them for upload to the website. Unapproved content creators will have their status upgraded when they establish themselves in terms of ability, integrity and diligence.
