Burning Life Returns – the Ultimate Expression of Second Life Creativity

For the last two years, the Burning Life festival has helped Second Life Residents recognize the true creative potential of our ever-changing world. This year, Second Life’s annual homage to Burning Man is back – bigger and more imaginative than ever!

The Burning Life grounds will appear in the shape of a 6-estate island – much larger than last year’s site. Participants will be announced on Friday, August 26 and will have almost 1/16 of a sim to express their interpretation of Burning Life. Use of the land is free of charge and won't count against your land tier. The specially created location echoes the spirit of Burning Man’s Black Rock Desert – without the blood-boiling Nevada heat.

On Monday, September 12 Burning Life will disappear once again – objects and land ownership will be wiped, leaving participants and visitors with a lingering suspicion that it was all a wonderful dream…


Burning Life Details
Burning Life is about collaborative art and expression – not commerce. No sales (or other money transactions) or advertisements are allowed. The Burning Life parcels cannot be terraformed and will not capture dwell. As this is a collaborative project, participants are asked to limit their use of scripts to insure that the festival grounds offer a level performance that allows visitors to enjoy all everyone’s creations.


To Enter Lottery
Burning Life participants will be selected by lottery from those Residents who enter by posting to this thread. The deadline for entry is August 22 at 4 PM PDT. Please state your preference for an M or PG sim and if you want to be next to a particular other participant. (We can't promise that we can meet all the requests.) Also, if you wish, select one or more of these descriptions: realistic, surrealistic, futuristic, retrospective. We may use your choice to cluster participants.

Please note that your choices will not influence your chances at winning a plot. Only one lottery entry per person; please don't enter under alternate accounts. The winners and the coordinates of their plot will be posted in the forums on or before August 26th. Land not claimed by August 31st may be given to another participant.

Please note: if you have won a lot to use for the event, you are not allowed to sell the parcel; any attempts at selling Burning Life land will lead to forfeiture. Remember, no sales (or other money transactions) or advertisements are allowed during Burning Life! The Burning Life parcels cannot be terraformed and will not capture dwell. As this is a collaborative project, participants are asked to limit their use of scripts to insure that the festival grounds offer a level performance that allows visitors to enjoy all everyone’s creations. Thanks to everyone for their entries and we can't wait to see your creations!

PS

If you are a winner and Basic account holder, we are aware of the non-land-claiming issue and will be implementing a fix for you shortly. It will most likely involve the joining of a group that owns the land. We apologize for this inconvenience.
