== Criteria for a Featured Picture ==

A featured picture should have the following attributes: 
* Be able to tell the "feeling" of the emotions.
* Must follow the [[BW:ITP|Image tagging Policy]]
* Summary, Copyright Info, and Description ''must'' be filled out.

The following '''do not''' qualify as Featured Picture candidates:
* Unfinished tags, {{tl|no tag}}, {{tl|BW image}}, {{tl|user image}}
* Past, Current, or Future Featured pictures that have been marked.
* If the image is currently in the current featured article, the image is disqualified until the article is not active anymore.

The featured picture should be decided before the 7<sup>th</sup> day of the next month, which on the 7<sup>th</sup> day the featured picture should be changed. All nominations should be posted and narrowed down to '''8 images''', within the first 6 days of the next month.

== Identifying a Potential Featured Picture ==

Featured Pictures should be identified as such, so that a master list can be created. If you think an article should be a featured article on the front page, submit it first as {{tl|featured picture candidate}}.

Essentially, this would be done in the following way:
# A contributor tags an image page with {{tl|featured picture candidate}}, then adds their notes to the current picture debate session explaining their reasoning. A list could also be maintained here, either manually updated or as a link to a "feature candidate" category. Only '''8 pictures''' for the next month shall be in the process of becoming a featured picture.
# Involved members of the community will then discuss the candidate picture.  Typically, they should be as '''constructively''' critical as possible.
# Once this is done, the picture will be tagged {{tl|featured picture}} and placed on the '''Main page'''.
#Previous featured picture candidates will be marked with {{tl|featured picture candidate previous}} to indicate that they were previously nominated.
