House of Heart Photography Contest

~**~~House of Heart Photography Contest~~*~

This contest will be a lot different then our usual photo contest. I am looking to have "professional" shots submitted in this contest. We have a Flickr group now so adding them via Flickr is good or you can send them to me via email and I will ad them. Think of this contest as using your avatar as art. There are many places in SL to take great pics, it could be a cliffside, sitting in flowers or fence side in your yard.

Official Hair Fair 2008 Photo Contest

Taken from Scarborough Flair - for the complete posting please visit Sasy's Blog.

Do you love hair? Show it in the Official Hair Fair 2008 Photo Contest on flickr! We're looking for pictures that show the range and fun of hair across the grid. We'll be picking 2 first prize winners, three second prize winners, and 5 third place winners to display at the Hair Fair throughout the whole event.

We at Hair Fair want to show the love and appreciation for the talented people that make us beautiful hair (both past and present), and in doing so we have created the Hair Fair Photo Contest. This contest is for you to show, in an homage style, a photo or photos that show your favorite hair styles and the way you love to wear them, what makes them your favorites and what it is about the designer and their work that generates that affection.

Show us your best LOLCat contest at Who Let the Dorks Out? Deadline July 21st

Show us your best LOLCat contest at Who Let the Dorks Out?

One thing that we've found that quite a few SLers have in common is the almighty Lolcat. Lolspeak has overthrown our grammar and icanhascheezburger.com has been banned from our workplaces because of…. well, us… checking every 15 mins for the best LOL of the day. SO, we got to thinking that we need a LOLtest! That was a horrid attempt at saying we need a contest where you make your own Lolcat picture out of an SL snap, enter it in the Second Life@: Who Let the Dorks Out? Flickr group pool and the winner takes 500L! It’s really easy with the help of fd’s Flickr Toys; you just upload a photo, write a caption and link it to your Flickr page. You have TWO weeks to get your LOL on and instead of Dork Of The Week on July 21st, we will have a Loldork Of Teh Week! You don’t have to BE a cat, just take any funny snap that you can match a witty caption (or capshun if we are being authentic here) with and run it through fd’s Flickr Toys. If you are new to the whole Lolcat phenomenon, you are NOT shunned from this contest. Just brush up on your icanhascheezburger.com and you will get the idea of typical captions (I.E. Ceiling Cat vs. Basement Cat, broken english, flavor, etc). Thats it! So we look forward to your entries, and remember the winner gets 500 lalas.
