Emvee Cuba Contest Winners!

Taken from the Metaversatility Blog.
______________________________________

Three weeks ago we opened our newly redesigned sim, Emvee Cuba, and started taking entries for a photo contest. While I knew that we had created a beautiful space within SL, and I hoped that residents would enjoy it, I have been overwhelmed and impressed by the gorgeous and diverse art that SL residents have created using Emvee Cuba for a backdrop.

We’ve spent the last week in close deliberation, pouring through the more than FIVE HUNDRED amazing images people were generous enough to share with us and with each other. Each image was beautiful and precious and it has been an exceptionally hard decision, however, we promised prizes, so we had to choose! The winners are:

Grand Prize Winner (L$10,000 and physical print)

“Jesus don’t want me for a sunbeam” by Micheal119de Allen

Runners Up (winners of physical prints):

“Wallflower” by Vye Graves

and

“Stolen” by Mindo Darcy

Congratulations to the winners, and a huge thank you to everyone who participated. If you haven’t had a chance to browse through the Emvee Island Flickr Group yet, I highly recommend it– though, beware, you may lose half your day!
