As I mentioned during last Sunday's New World Gala, I'm helping run an RMB City-sponsored photo contest, and we're challenging SL's many great screenshot artists to create images evoking life and culture in Cao Fei's virtual city, with L$12,500 given to the top image in two categories:
- Natural Virtual (No post-processing)
- Synthetic Virtual (Post-processing OK)
Entries should beautifully depict the themes and symbols evoked by RMB City in daring and original ways, shot anywhere within the city space. Finalists will be selected by RMB City staff and myself, and with the winners' permission, may be featured in real world gallery showings of the RMB City project.
You can submit entries in two ways: create a free Koinup account, join the RMB City Photo Contest group, and upload them there. Or you can e-mail them to me, hamlet at secondlife dot com, either as an attachment (2 megs or less, please), or as an image link, and I'll upload them there. Deadline is end of September 28. Be sure to include your SL name for credit, photo title (if any), and designate it as "Natural Virtual" or "Synthetic Virtual"! Limit five total entries per avatar.
Questions? Please ask in Comments. Ready to start snapping? [SLurl teleport to RMB City at this link]
Cao Fei’s work reflects the fluidity of a world in which cultures have mixed and diverged in rapid evolution
