We are pleased to announce the SLCC Design Showcase: celebrating the evolution of design in Second Life from 2002 through 2006. Content creation has been one of the most popular aspects in Second Life and we will showcase some of the best and most unique work from Second Life’s beta period through the present for the SLCC 2006.
Details:
Submissions will be featured in our Design Showcase held on the in-world convention land donated by Linden Lab for the days surrounding and during the convention.
The Design Showcase will have a special featurette on the SLCC website and publication.
Prizes will be awarded for the Top Three “Best in Show” including either free passes to this year’s Convention or a complimentary 512m plot of land for the in-world convention if you can not attend the convention in San Francisco. Passes are fully transferable and can be given as a gift to someone else. Judging date and panel are to be determined.

Guidelines for Submission
The showcase is open to all Second Life community members. Each submission must be accompanied by an entry form (details below). All work must be original, suitable to display in a PG simulator, and not violate any intellectual property rights. Mature works submitted will be featured on the website only. We reserve the right to refuse submissions that are inappropriate or offensive. Please submit the highest quality work as this is a design showcase and it is not intended to show everything ever designed in Second Life, but rather a broad vignette of design in Second Life. The theme for the showcase is “Something Old – Something New: Celebrating Design in Second Life 2002 through 2006”.
Listed below are some additional criteria for entering submissions.
Fashion design:
No direct photosourcing of entire outfits from recognized brands. Elements may be photosourced such as fabrics, trim, or minor details. But, the work itself must be original or an inspiration.
Animations:
If you are entering Animations, they need to have been created by you and not downloaded from a third-party site. Animations that are not your own that are used in home furnishings and other items are fine as long as you properly credit the person who did them and/or make note that they were not created by you.
Textures:
Any stand alone textures submitted into the competition must be created by the designer. Do not upload a plaid fabric texture from a website and submit it as your own. If you hand draw or paint a plaid texture and enter it that is fine.
Art & Photography:
All works of art must be original either created solely in Second Life or outside of Second Life.
Please Include the following with your submission:
(1) The name of your submission.
(2) The date on which the creation was completed;
(3) A paragraph about the creation and the design process of the creation.
(4) A brief biography about yourself and your work
(5) High quality JPEG images of each entry
(6) Which category you are entering the submission(s) in
(7) Your logo (when applicable)
