Fallen God & Goddess Contest 2023


Dear Fallens,
I would like to invite you to the Fallen God and Goddess Contest where everyone is given a chance to shine on a prim wall in the Temple and get their divine selves clicked for Fortune, Fame and Glory. Come bond with fellow Fallens and celebrate during the festival, get a special participation prize whatever your results are and imprint yourself into the eternal memory of a Virtual Reality Pantheon (dramatization). Remember that there are many categories and Juries so even you could be a Winner!
 

The Contest is my way to thank you for your wonderful support through the past year, see what you can bring to life with my work and enjoy some wonderful time together. 
Hope to see you participate soon,
Alia

♱ THE RULES OF DOOM ♱
╚════════════════╝

☢ RULES ABOUT RULES ☢
► You must obey the Rules.
► Failure to obey the Rules will result in extreme otter management.
► You don't want to know what extreme otter management is.

☢ RULES ABOUT HOW TO PARTICIPATE ☢
► Create a picture of your SL self, this is the way people will be able to vote for you.
Your image will be your presentation card, it will summary all that you want to say so I suggest you take time to choose or to create one that really satisfies and represents you. The artistic value itself of the image and its originality will be for sure something that will help you get noticed by the voters and jury.

► You need to wear a Fallen Gods Inc. skin. All the rest: location, outfit, etc. is by your choice. It’s the only requirement since without it the competition itself has no sense.

► Fallen Gods Inc. skin has to be recognizable and visible. No helmets or masks covering your face. No obscure or texture-blurring bright windlights. No using non-Fallen skin for head and Fallen skin for body. The picture should showcase a Fallen skin clearly, that is the core idea of the contest, seeing what you create with Fallen Gods Inc. skins. If in doubt ask Sonya or in group.

► There shall be only one avatar in the image, creative exceptions might be considered, but the image has to feature only one contestant (mirrors, projections are fine and might be discussed prior to acceptance).

► Petites are part of the Fallens, as long they are Fallen Edition Petites.

► You can participate with just one of your avatars on just one of the gender walls (Alts are discouraged, please don't participate with a multitude of your avatars. We have no way to investigate alts so not much can be done and I am very, very (very) much against witch-hunts, but it's simply up to you and a matter of respect towards the work behind this Celebration).

► Please choose the gender/contest category with which you identify with most of your time in SL (if you have inquiries or need information please ask, we want everyone feel included)

► All pics (SL texture files) shall be sent to my partner Sonya Marmurek, she helps me out with the Secretarial matters, Contest and Anniversary. (Thank you Rabbitteer)

► When you send the picture to Sonya Marmurek, remember to tell her which Fallen skin you are wearing in the picture.

► Pictures will be accepted until Saturday 7 October 2023, 11 pm slt.

☢ RULES ABOUT TEXTURES/IMAGES ☢
► Textures/Images shall be FULL PERMISSION (copy, modify, transfer)

► Textures/Images shall be renamed as follows: FGI23 name surname (example: FGI23 Meowcroft Von Snugglemeurghs). I will not exclude on prior who mistakes that, but we might not find your texture and so miss to place you in the voting.

► Picture ratio (proportions) shall be that of a standard snapshot, tv and monitor size (4:3) or pixel example 640x480 px in 72dpi, vertical and square cuts will have your image deformed so remember it shall be a landscape format.

► No added text on the picture.

► No several pictures edited into one, just one picture scene.

► Please make a new picture, using the one you sent last year doesn't show much care and effort, imagine if I would make the same with gifts, rewards and Fortunes.

► Please do not put your image in notecards, boxes or folders.

► Send the picture from the avatar that participates in the contest. Make sure the name of the picture and the avatar sending it are the same.

► Only one picture for contestant. Delivering more than one will result in simply using the first one delivered.


☢ RULES ABOUT PRIZES & WINNERS ☢
- All Gift cards and Prizes will be delivered the next week following the Election

☢ RULES ABOUT VOTING ☢
- Using your alts to vote for yourself is not nice (Especially when it's more than a dozen......)
- Offering free sex to noobs for a vote though is welcomed and encouraged.
- Bad mouthing contestants, slander, shaming will have you managed by otters.
- Bad mouthing of otters is very encouraged.

☢ RULES ABOUT DRAMA ☢
Just. Don't.
It's already sad I have to add this chapter in here. Very, very, very sad.
I do this for you folks to have fun with, to thank you for your support, to make new friends, to have a good time at the temple, to get a free skin while just sending me a 10L snapshot (yes I do accept everyone and all). I do this since very long and during this time of the year I wish to celebrate Second Life, our community and just enjoy ourselves. If you are not capable to manage competition stress, self-insecurities, disagree with the rules, voting and judging criteria, and have personal issues about the whole, do NOT participate.
Thank you.

☢ RULES ABOUT NOT DRAMA ☢
Have fun and get laid, or take a nap, naps are good... we are getting older. Also don't feed the otters, but feel free to feed penguins. Perhaps bunnies too...

SUMMARY: rename pic as example, set permissions to copy, modify and transfer (full perm), drop texture/pic alone to Sonya Marmurek, tell her which Fallen skin you are wearing in the picture, then enjoy the election weeks until the Anniversary Party. Have fun!

Feel free to include your pictures on our Flickr:
