Photohunt
From virtualartpedia
Photohunt is a Virtual Artist Alliance weekly event hosted by VAA founder Cyanide Seelowe and member/moderator Welcome Doobie. It is held every Wednesday at 7:30 PM SLT at the Photohunt Gallery in the Chiaksan sim.
Gallery
As of May 8th, 2008, every piece of work that has been submitted to a Photohunt contest is on display for the public to see. There are upwards of 100 pieces on display at the gallery, and because of the weekly competitions, this number is constantly growing.
Rules
1.) The moderator of the game picks a theme for the current PhotoHunt match- this will be distributed in a notecard, and will either be a theme of the moderator's choosing, or a landmark where the images MUST be taken.
2.) You will have EXACTLY 60 minutes to take the best photo you're capable of that fits into that match's theme.
3.) No outside manipulations are allowed.
4.) While it is not mandatory, we request that the textures you place in the entry panels be full perm. This makes the panels easier to archive.
5.) Participants and spectators are allowed to vote for the winning snapshots.
All images will be archived by the PhotoHunt moderators. Winners and any other prominent works will be displayed in the PhotoHunt gallery for public viewing.
ALL ARTISTS RETAIN FULL RIGHTS TO ANY WORK SUBMITTED TO PHOTOHUNT CONTESTS. THE VIRTUAL ARTIST ALLIANCE, ITS MEMBERS AND/OR ITS AFFILIATE GALLERIES WILL NEVER SELL THE ARCHIVED PHOTOHUNT WORKS UNLESS GIVEN EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION BY THE SUBMITTING ARTIST.
FAQ
Q: Is Windlight a prerequisite to play? It's too much for my computer to handle!
A: Windlight is NOT required to play PhotoHunt.
Q: What is the aspect ratio of a typical Second Life snapshot?
A: 4:3 or 1024x768 pixels
Q: If I take a snapshot outside of the typical aspect ratio, will you stretch my entry panel to make my entry proportionate?
A: No. In order to make the contests run smoothly, we ask that you please make your snapshots fit within the 4:3 ratio, or accept any stretching that may occur otherwise.
Q: Why do you need my textures to be full-perm?
A: It helps the moderators archive the entires with greater ease. The Virtual Artist Alliance, its members or its affiliate galleries will NEVER sell your work without express written permission first (this disclaimer can also be found in the Photohunt Rules).
