Hello all,
I've got an idea for an event. I think it would be awesome, but before I invest too much time and energy into getting it finalized.... I decided I'd go ahead and see if I couldn't get some feedback from the community. What do you think? Think this event would work in Second Life? Think I could get sponsors and participants? What do you think would be needed to make this event more of a success?
******* Preliminary Data for Clash of the Fashionistas ***********
www.clashofthefashionistas.com - in development
There is no doubt that the fashion community within Second Life is bustling. People from around the world can bring their graphical talents into play and design amazing fashion items.
As soon as I entered Second Life I knew that I was hooked by the fashion and fun of design. I am not much of a designer, though I do dabble in it. What I am is a business professional that loves Second Life and admires the skill and beauty created by SL designers.
I would like to propose the 2007 SL Clash of the Fashionistas!
Designers within SL can submit an application for consideration. 50 entrants will be selected by the judges. 20 Finalists will be selected and over a ten week period finalists will compete by meeting design benchmarks. At this point the following information is flexible and may be subject to change depending upon input from judges and sponsors.
How will a designer enter?
- 60 days old
- Entry fee of $500L
- Send in application and two designs for consideration
- Selection as a finalist requires your participation for the full ten week period
What will the designers win?
The winning designer will win a one page spread in a magazine, length of advertisement to be determined.
Winning designer will win $10,000L (possibility to increase depending on sponsor involvement)
Most importantly, the winning designer will win the title of Queen (or King) of SL Fashionistas. Not to mention the amazing press this will have on their designs.
(Other goodies added as sponsors provide input)
Who are the judges?
Five judges will be selected.
