FAQ
==
Q: Is Windlight a prerequisite to play? It's too much for my computer to handle!
A: Windlight is NOT required to play PhotoHunt.

Q: What is the aspect ratio of a typical Second Life snapshot?
A: 4:3 or 1024x768 pixels

Q: If I take a snapshot outside of the typical aspect ratio, will you stretch my entry panel to make my entry proportionate?
A: No. In order to make the contests run smoothly, we ask that you please make your snapshots fit within the 4:3 ratio, or accept any stretching that may occur otherwise.

Voting is done with a moderation style system. If you like a picture, You will be able to vote it up. (Add a vote). If you don't like a picture, you will be able to vote it down (removing a vote). There is no limit to the number of snapshots you may vote for, but you may vote only once for each snapshot.

WEEKLY THEME
=========
If the theme is a word or phrase, you may search anywhere in Second Life to find the best snapshot that falls within the theme. If the theme is a landmark, the snapshot you take MUST be taken within the parcel that the landmark takes you to.
