 Second Life photography contest : The development site is organizing a contest and offering a free guide to “photo-lifers” in Second Life to promote photography in the virtual World. While on vacation, everyone hopes their holiday photos will turn out great so they can share with their families and friends their favorite memories of trips, at the beach…or on Second Life. Photography has become one of the favorite hobbies of avatars. It has even become an art for some of them, including Yann Mip, who created the photography guide on Second Life for Foto.com, and organizes the photography contest. A virtual exhibition featuring all the photographs of the winners will be organized in the virtual universe at the end of the contest.

 Virtual photography contest - Guide
This guide, available free of charge on the contest blog, is intended for Second Life avatars to help them take their first photos in the virtual world. Confirmed and amateur photographers can then take part in the “SL Foto Contest”. “Photo-lifers” can use the head-up displays (HUDs) made available to avatars on many islands in the virtual world to send in their best shots directly to the contest blog
Second Life photo contest - Best photo
Net surfers vote for their favorite photograph every week: landscapes, avatars, monuments, etc. Each photo can reap 10,000 Linden dollars for the photographer, as well as free draws on Foto.com and a photo album with the top photos taken on Second Life. The operation, conceived by Publicis Consultants / Net Intelligenz, has already been met with great success in the international community of “SLifers”: by July 30th, the contest blog had already seen 2,000 daily visits from 56 countries.
