Versailles is holding a second photography competition! I have seen that the members from the 18th century community have a lot of great Second Life photography skills, and what better location to show off these skills then Versailles? Last year when I hold it around the same time, we got some wonderful photos, and the then winner was Brownbat Resident (she was not in the management in that time, thus could participate). We had some amazing entries from Candance, Serenya, Lisamarie, Sophia, etc. too! I hope it will be as competitive this year too!
The challenge: Make the best Versailles picture! Show the chteau in it's full glory! Of course 'Versailles' stands for a lot more then just the building! Versailles symbolizes the Ancien Rgime, Louis XIV's power, the wealth and power of the Bourbon Dynasty and the nobility, scandals, love affairs etc. These are just a few examples you can try to show in your picture!
When you have made your picture (which you may edit as well using software outside of Second Life!) you can send it to MarieLouise Harcourt full perm, in a notecard. Write down your SL user name in the note card and preferably write something about the picture you made.
If possible all pictures send in will be on display, if the amount of entries however is incredibly large, the judges will put it down to about 10 pictures. The pictures will be put on display at Versailles, where they can be admired by you. Besides admiring, you will also get the chance to vote on your favorite picture! The winner will be chosen by a jury based upon the votes, the jury is existing out of MarieLouise Harcourt, Elisabeth Milneaux, and Ethelred Brougham.The votes of the jury will count for 50%, the votes of the public will count for 50% too.
The evening on which the winner will be announced, and the votes counted, will be posted later in this topic and in the events calendar. It is NOT at 20 April.
The creator of the best picture will be given a prize of 1,000 L$!
