As part of the fun going on at Organica this month, I’m please to announce Organica’s first ever photo contest!
The Basics:
– Submit up to three (3) of your best photos taken in Organica Sim.
– This contest is FREE to enter and the first, second and third place winners will receive the following prizes:
1st place: L$10,000 prize
2nd place: L$5,000 prize
3rd place: L$2,500 prize
– Contest ENDS at 12 Midnight, April 21, 2010
– Photos will be judged by three independent, impartial judges, and winners announced no later than 12 Midnight, May 1, 2010.
The Details:
– Photos must be sent to organicaphotocontest2010@spacylittlecowgirl.otherinbox.com no later than 12 midnight, Wednesday April 21, 2010.
– Photos can feature anything as long as they are recognizably taken in Organica, don’t contain adult content and are not defamatory in any way to any party or individual.
– Each contestant must submit ONLY photos of their own creation.
– Each contestant will be entitled to win only one of the three prizes, despite entry of several photos. The allowance for up to three photos gives entrants the opportunity to display the breadth of their work and allows the judges a larger pool to pick from. The selection of one photo for a prize will immediately invalidate the contestant from any other prize. This is to keep the contest fair and fun, while allowing folks the freedom to display their creative ability.
– By entering this contest, you consent to the publication of the photo (attributed to you) on the Organica blog, in Organica’s Flickr Contest pool, and in-world. All intellectual property will be respected and the photo will not be used in any way shape or form except to discuss the contest.
– There are vendors on the grounds, situated near some items. You will not be expected to photograph these – in fact I would encourage you not to. You can remove these vendors from view prior to taking your snapshot by opening up your Advanced menu (if you don’t have it revealed already, it’s control+alt+shift+d on a PC and command+alt+shift+d on a Mac), select Rendering>Hide Selected. Then right click>edit each prim from the vendor (there are usually 5 in total) to erase them from view on your screen.
– Photo-editing IS permitted as long as the content is recognizably taken on Organica sim. Understandably, not all viewpoints and shots will be optimal and you may wish to tweak your visual treatments. This is fine!
