Join Lanna’s group
on Eventful.com to stay up to date on what's happening in SL-- info on
submitting event notices below.
SUBMITTING EVENTS FOR COVERAGE IN New World Notes
Every Thursday morning, NWN highlights events for the upcoming weekend into next Wednesday. If you'd like an event to be considered, send the description and event link to Charlanna Beresford via IM or e-mail her at [email protected]. You can also contact Lanna through her Facebook profile, where she's listed as "Charlanna Beresford".
Main guidelines:
1 - Events for the coming week must be received by
Tuesday Noon SLT.
2 - Include all the relevant info-- day, time, and especially the SLURL to the event location.
3 - Please send related graphics such as screenshots or photo of the event site, if available.
4 - Events with artistic, cultural, scientific, political, creative, and/or educational value preferred.
5 - Events sponsored or promoted by real world corporations are welcome, as long they serve and entertain the Second Life community, and/or foster Resident-made content (live music, builds, scripting, fashion, games, etc.) Events that merely promote the company or organization's Second Life presence are not generally appropriate; you may instead consider advertising your event or service on New World Notes.
6 - Mature-rated events are permissible, but listing descriptions should be PG-13. Political and religious events are encouraged, though those of an extreme or non-inclusive variety are rarely included.
7 - Bonus consideration given to game-related or machinima events, and for events with "I've never seen that in SL before" value.
Lanna, uh.. what has Hamlet been doing to you?
