[LAP] Photo Contest Winner!



















The winner of the [LAP] Photo Contest for June 5th was Autumn Hykova.

Here's what [LAP] creator Dove Swanson had to say about the photos chosen:
This was really really really hard, this has to be the hardest one I've had to judge. I wanted to give everyone who participated a prize, but I'm trying to be fair and make myself only pick one winner. Otherwise I should stop calling them contests. lol.

So, without further delay the winner is Autumn Hykova! I loved this matrix shot she took, I would have never in a million years thought to use that pose in that way - I even had to doubletake to realize just *which* pose it was! I also happened to love how clever her twister shots were - not just that, but she utilized so many of those poses in a fun way. lol

Dove chose some great honorable mentions as well so hop on over to her flickr group and see them. Click here for more!

  • Technique (how instructive your trick description is)
Obviously aesthetics are key and will be considered.


Winning photos and a selection of runners up, will be published on the Orange Island and Koinup Blogs. So stay tuned for the announcement.

Contest Central Vote 1

Contest Central needs your input! Please see the attached notecard for details on how you can vote and your chance to win 1,000 L$ in prizes!


Dear subscribers,

We are asking you to take a few moments of your time to share your opinion with us on a topic. In the beginning we were not sending out fee associated contests, but it appears that there are more and more of them coming out. Our question to you is this: Do you, since we want to best serve you and your interests, want us to include pay to vote/pay to enter contests? The majority vote makes the decision and as a way of saying thank you for helping us make this decision we will offer one lucky voter 1,000 L$ in cash and prizes! Of course we will only accept one vote per person ;-)

Thank you for your time and joining our group,
Voshie and Jenny


Rules:

Limit one vote per person (unique SL name)

Create a new notecard named "Contest Central Vote 1 - YourFirstName YourLastName - YOUR VOTE"

Substitute "YourFirstName" with your SL first name and substitute "YourLastName" with your SL last name.

Substitute "YOUR VOTE" with your vote of "YES" or "NO" in all CAPS.

The creator of the notecard must match that in the name of the notecard.

Improperly formatted notecards will not be counted.

Please feel free to use the body of the notecard to share your comments and suggestions with the Contest Central team! Body text will not alter your vote (only a YES/NO in the notecard name counts as a vote) but we would love to hear your thoughts about anything concerning Contest Central! :-)

All members of the Contest Central subscribe-o-matic group as of 11:30pm SLT on Monday, June 9th are eligible to vote. All votes will be checked against the membership roster to verify membership status and join date/time.

To cast your vote, send your notecard to JennyH GossipGirl.

Votes must be received *no later than* 11:59pm SLT on Saturday, June 14th. Late votes will not be counted.

All qualified voters submitting a timely and properly formatted vote will be entered into a drawing to win 1,000 L$ in prizes! The winner will be randomly chosen from all qualified votes and will receive 500 L$ in cash from JennyH GossipGirl and a 500 L$ gift card to Black, White & Couture from Belle Levavre. The drawing will be held after the voting period has closed, voters verified, and all votes tallied.

The result of the vote and the prize winner will be announced in a Contest Central notice.


Thank you and good luck!
