Money Island Hot or Not Rules!!!

1. What is the minimum vote? The minimum vote is 100 lindens, there is no maximum vote amount, again they can vote as much lindens as they like there is no maximum vote amount. Further, every 1000 lindens your picture gets counts as an extra vote. For example Steve gets 5 votes and 5k lindens voted, his overall score would be 10 votes.

2. I don't like my picture now that i see it next to some of the others, can i change it?
Sorry but no, you may not change you're picture or you're spot once you have entered and submitted your picture. That is the only picture that we will use you may NOT submit another picture.

3. If you withdraw from the contest at anytime, you will not receive a refund nor will the voters and the poster will be removed immediately from the contest wall.

4. Contestants may not ask for Votes on Contest Property. If this is found out (1) Warning will be issued, 2nd time will result in disqualification, with no refund of votes or money made to contestant and/or voters. Contestants only may wear a tag that says "vote for me". Teleporting people in and telling them where your picture is, is fine. Randomly IMing everyone that comes in asking for votes, is not.

5. Contestants may vote for themselves, Vote does not count but any L$ voted will count towards L$ contribution for that contestant.

• 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.

TO ENTER THE CONTEST:

1. PLEASE read the few rules below these instructions.
2. JOIN the Zanphoria Group
3. 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.
4. 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.

Please feel free to include up to 5 additional photos in the notecard.

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!
