~**~~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.

READ MORE!
TO ENTER THE CONTEST:
1. YOU NEED TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND RULES.
2. JOIN the Zanphoria Group (you MUST join the group first)
3. PLACE YOUR PHOTO IN THE VOTING BOARD -choose any board you like. You will be given a choice of loading your profile pic OR loading by UUID. TO DO THIS, go to the pic in your inventory, right click and click “copy asset UUID” and then PASTE THAT IN GENERAL CHAT. That pic will then be loaded.
4. NO NOTECARDS IN THE BOARDS
HOW THE CONTEST IS RUN AND HOW THE WINNER WILL BE CHOSEN:
Entries and voting will be ongoing beginning on the July 1st and closing on July 15th. On the 15th the four finalists will be announced and their information will be sent to the judges. Zanphoria Gallery owners will not be judging. We have a panel of 5 judges (people in the modeling, fashion, and publishing industries) who will decide the winner. The names of the judges are not released to the contestants. The 4 finalists will be asked to submit a notecard with additional photos. PLEASE NOTE, it is possible that the model among those 4 with the most votes might not be judged the final winner. The voting board will determine the 4 finalists only - the winner will be chosen by the judges.
We realize that sometimes the “voting” contest can be little more than popularity contests, however it is effective and the preferred method. We also believe it shows enthusiasm to encourage your friends and associates to support your modeling by giving you their vote. But we do try to balance that out a bit by using judging to determine the final winner. Do you need to be competitive with getting votes? Yes, of course you do, that is the very nature of a COMPETITION.
A FEW RULES
1. Voters will be allowed to cast two votes per day - and ONLY ONE PER DAY PER MODEL. CONTESTANTS MAY CAST A VOTE FOR THEMSELVES ONCE PER DAY.
2. Any votes cast by someone under 30 days old will be removed. This is not up for negotiation. If you have ton of friends who all happen to be new residents, I’m sorry. This is an ABSOLUTE necessity to discourage people from creating a ton of alts and to discourage the abuse of new residents in conning them to come and vote.
3. Accusing someone of cheating is an egregious thing. Do this ONLY if you have absolute proof.
4. If we discover you have paid anyone for votes, you will be disqualified.
5. ANY attempts to manipulate the board DONE BY YOURSELF OR ON YOUR BEHALF will result in disqualification. Please tell your friends to NOT risk disqualifying you.
6. If you were in our first contest, PLEASE take a new LM. The contest will NOT be held in the same spot and the third level of the Gallery is now closed and locked to the public.
7. I understand it is hard to juggle groups. You are not required to stay in the Zanphoria Group but you will not receive Contest notices unless you are. It is just too difficult to go searching for every contestant if a notice needs to be sent out.
8. Zanphoria reserves the right to postpone or cancel the contest at any time if a need presents itself.
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!

JULY FACE OF ZANPHORIA - Deadline June 15
MODELING CONTEST - JULY FACE OF ZANPHORIA
Zanphoria Galleries and Studios is all about excellence and elegance. We are now putting a new face every month to that philosophy.
WINNER WILL RECEIVE:
- 1000L
- Will be the Zanphoria Ad Model for the month (and we advertise aggressively-Model name on the ads)
- One free month on the Zanphoria AdBoards (300L value)
- Will be one of the chosen paid models for 2 shows in the Gallery (usually 1 hr @ 200L per hour.)
- A photoshoot with the Zanphoria photographer; photos softly edited and enhanced; and a full perm portfolio book with the 10 best shots.
- PLEASE read the few rules below these instructions.
- JOIN the Zanphoria Group
- PLACE YOUR PHOTO IN THE VOTING BOARD (any photo you desire, no nudity - you may want to keep in mind that Zanphoria is about elegance. That can come through in a gown, lingerie or just the style of photo but you might want to lean toward a more elegant feel.) The board will deliver instructions on how to upload your image and note if you need it.
- SUBMIT A NOTECARD to: Sapphoria Shilova with the following information:
- Full name,
- SL birthdate
- Time zone
- Any time periods you are generally NOT available
- Tell us briefly how you would describe your typical style.
Entries and voting will be ongoing. We will close the board to entries and votes on June 15th. The winner will be announced on June 25th and the photo shoot of the winner will need to be during the last week of June (so they are ready to use in July ads)
HOW THE WINNER WILL BE CHOSEN:
We realize that sometimes the "voting" contest can be little more than popularity contests, however it is effective and the preferred method. We also believe it shows enthusiasm to encourage your friends and associates to support your modeling by giving you their vote. But we will also use final judging. When the board closes, the top four (4) models with the most votes will be reviewed by a panel of 4 judges in the industry and a final winner will be chosen. The 4 finalists will be asked to submit a notecard with additional photos. PLEASE NOTE, it is possible that the model among those 4 with the most votes will not be judged the final winner. The voting board will determine the 4 finalists and the winner will be chosen by the judges.
A FEW LITTLE RULES
1. You may NOT include freelance information and/or rates on the voting board. You may have one photo and a notecard with general information about yourself. However, we do recommend you lease a regular Zanphoria AdBoard where you can put your photo and anything you like in the notecard. You are NOT required to lease one of the regular AdBoards to enter the contest.
2. If we discover you have paid anyone for votes, you will be disqualified.
3. Any attempts to manipulate the board will result in disqualification.
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!
