Overview
Researchers from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Rowan University are pleased to announce the launch of a new business venture contest within Second Life©. Thirty lucky participants will be allotted ~2,048 sqm of land and ~468 prims, free of charge on one of three Second Life regions purchased specifically for the contest. Over the course of approximately five months, participants will try to generate as much revenue as possible for an innovative business of their choosing. Business ideas, buildings, products, etc. will remain the sole property of the participants and can be moved to another region (at the participant’s expense) at the completion of the contest.
Participation
A brief description of the proposed business (in English and no more than two pages please) should be submitted by those interested in participating. Thirty participants will then be randomly selected from those submitting acceptable business proposals. To submit a proposal, or for additional details regarding the contest, please contact the organizers using the information shown below:
