Folks, we are happy to announce our new contest beginning December 5th and running through December 31st. We are looking for DJ's (any genre). The rest of the info/details:



The *Bubblefish*Hottest DJ in SL Contest
As we progress to find our next superstar model, we have been searching high and low to find that one SL personality who not only moves the crowd, but has that magnetic attraction to blend together just the right hits at just the right times. The best DJ’s in SL attract hundreds to their venues again and again. *Bubblefish* seeks out those unique few for the grandest competition amongst themselves.

Translation: Are YOU the hottest DJ in SL. Are you the mightiest on the 1’s and 2’s?

Would you like a permanent residency gig at *Bubblefish* for a year?

How about we throw in $100,000L to boot ($100k L$).

How it works:
As a (self-proclaimed) SL DJ, you can either submit yourself to be nominated, or you may HAVE BEEN nominated by one of your admirers or fans. If this card was sent to you, your nomination has been established already, and you can consider this as an official nomination. We are limiting nominees to 40 DJ’s. Once your nominated, and you accept, a voting board will be placed at *Bubblefish*. Voters will have the ability to vote for you once a day.
You must be available to DJ one weekend (sat or sun) during the contest. Each DJ must perform once to showcase your skill here on the sim.

Nominees will be selected between Dec 1-10 by Soda Domela & Jeremy Majestic. You will be notified of your approved nomination and added to the contest group.

CONTEST BEGINS DECEMBER 5 AND RUNS THROUGH DECEMBER 31 2008

EXAMPLE OF HOW RANKINGS ARE TALLIED
Each category carries a Rank.
a. Contestant receives a rank for actual votes
b. Contestant receives a rank for L$ contributed towards them
1.) If a contestant has the 1st overall number of Actual Votes, they will receive a Rank of 1st in the Actual Vote Category
2.) If a contestant has the 1st overall L$ contribution, they will receive a Rank of 1st in the L$ Contribution Category
3.) Take each ranking and add them together ( 1+ 1 = 2 )
4.) Take the Total from both Rankings and Divide by the #2 ( 2/ 2 = 1 )
This gives the Contestant a Score of 1 and is ranked # 1 overall in the contest

OTHER EXAMPLES
Actual Vote Rank : 4th, L$ Contribution Rank : 2nd ( 4+2 = 6 ) /2 = 3 ( they will be ranked 3rd )
Actual Vote Rank : 2nd, L$ Contribution Rank : 4th ( 4+2 = 6 ) /2 = 3 ( they will be ranked 3rd )
