The ideal running time would last no longer than 4 minutes and show the main features of the sim design and offerings in terms of factions, costumes, and other features that make "Dune Apocalypse" a great place to spend one's precious Second Life time.
We ask that the video be presentable in a PG-rated environment even though it is considered a Mature site. Be as artistic as you want but remember we will be judging the video on the basis of how well it "sells" the sim.
A candidate must host the video and make it publically accessable without cost or downloading special applications for the viewer (i.e. youtube, etc.). The video will be portable, so we can host it after the contest.
Participants who are not a part of the sim must obtain a copy of our "FREEBIE" box which includes an OOC observer tag, suitable clothing, useful information, etc. We also ask that you do your best to not interfere in the roleplay of others. Please also read and abide by the sim rules enclosed.
The prize will constitute a flat fee for creating the video and therefore, Alidar Moxie, the sim owner, will retain all rights to the video.
