At 10:00 SLT on Wednesday, February 4th, 2015 the Lab launched a new photo competition with a total prize pool of L$19,000.

The Photo Booth Fun Contest challenges SL users to submit their own photo booth theme pictures – the sillier the better – for a chance to win one of the following Linden dollar prizes:

Grand Prize – 10,000 Linden Dollars (estimated value at US$40.00).

– 10,000 Linden Dollars (estimated value at US$40.00). First Prize – 5,000 Linden Dollars (estimated value at US$20.00).

– 5,000 Linden Dollars (estimated value at US$20.00). Second Prize – 3,000 Linden Dollars (estimated value at $12.00).

– 3,000 Linden Dollars (estimated value at $12.00). Third Prize– 1,000 Linden Dollars (estimated value at $4.00).

To help inspire people with ideas for entries, Xiola Linden has scoured the web far and wide and set-up a Pinterest page full of images showing possible ideas and the use of props to make truly memorable / silly photos. But remember – the images are for inspiration only! The judges are looking for entrants to be as creative as as silly as they can get.

To enter, simply create your snapshot and then upload it to the contest page linked-to above and at the end of this article, using the Entries tab on that page (you must be signed-in to the forums for the button to work).

For full details on the rules of entry, general conditions, eligibility for entry, prize information and so on, please refer to the contest’s official rules and conditions.

In a new move for the Lab, winner will not be decided on the basis of a popularity vote. Instead, a specially selected jury, comprising a mixed panel of Linden Lab representatives from the Lab’s marketing and community relations team and a number of Second Life residents will judge the competition.

As noted at the top of this article, the contest is now open, and entries can be submitted between now and 10:00 SLT on Wednesday, March 4th, 2015.

So happy snapping and good luck!
