• Clean DMCA history.
• At least one item published on the Marketplace in the past 30 days.

How to Apply
• Application review: Applications are reviewed on a first come, first served basis. Once we’ve reached capacity, the application will close. You’ll be notified via DevForum if you have been selected.
• Selection criteria: To be eligible, creators must meet our creator requirements for uploading and publishing 3D content and have abided by our Marketplace policies in the past.
• Upload first, publish shortly after: If you’re accepted in the first few days of the pilot, you’ll be able to upload backgrounds right away but not publish them for sale yet. We’ll notify accepted creators directly once publishing is enabled.

What’s Next
In the coming months, we plan to open up publishing and selling Avatar Backgrounds to all creators as a way to expand self-expression on Roblox.
