Taste Her Secrets Photo Contest


taste her secrets Valentine's photo contest rules:
-----------------------------------------

***Requirements***
- one of these three things is a requirement: you *MUST* be wearing an outfit from TASTE that is visible in your photo and/or you must be posed on the TASTE Encore ~ Burlesque dance stool or TASTE Encore ~ Captivate dance pole.
- you *MUST* be wearing lingerie or a bikini (yes a taste croset dress is ok).
- you may have a photographer take your photo, but there are to be no logos, names, words, shapes or frames added to your entries
- failure to comply with the above will result in disqualification and fees will not be refunded.
- A photoback drop and appropriate props from TASTE have been set up for you at Secrets of her on the backstage.

1. Entering
    - Each entry is L$200 and is non-refundable
    - By entering you agree to allow Secrets of Her and taste to display your picture for the duration of the contest or until we take it down
    -  You can use more than one photo board to participate in the contest. Only the highest
        vote count will be considered on winner selection. It can be an advantage to occupy more than one board
        but also a disadvantage. You choose the strategy. But please, be considerate: others want to participate
        as well.
    -People caught cheating will immediately be removed by the owner/host without notice or refunds.
     -   Anyone trying to manipulate the contest or disturbing it by their actions will be removed and banned.
    -   The contest host's decisions are always final and there is no discussion about their decisions.
    -   For further questions contact Tracy Argus.
   
2. Joining
    - You can join by paying the required $200L join fee to an empty photo board. The photo board will try to load your profile picture and display it. Once loaded, you can now change it by loading  another photo/texture into it. In order to do that, hold down the CTRL key and drag a picture from your inventory onto the photo board while holding down the left mouse button. The frame will highlight to red and you can release
the left mouse button. The picture/texture has to be FULLPERM (also for next owner - see bottom of properties page)
due to technical reasons. If done properly the picture will be displayed and the photo board changes to voting mode.

Changing your picture
-------------------------
To change your picture, touch the sign and you will receive a menu with some options:
    - Load Picture:     Changes the photo board to picture loading mode. Update your picture by following
                                    the instructions above.
                                    Touch to keep the picture and  to proceed to voting mode again. (This will happen
                                    automatically after 2 minutes as well).
    - Profile Picture:  Tries to load you profile picture onto the photo board. After that it will change to the
                                     "Picture Loading mode". Touch to keep the picture and to proceed to voting
                                    mode again. (This will happen automatically after 2 minutes as well).
                                    If you have disabled "show in search" in your profile, the system will not be able to
                                    acquire your profile picture. On change it will take up to 24 hours until it will be available.
    - Close Menu:       Closes the menu with no action
    - Abandon:            Abandon will close the photo board and remove yourself from the contest.
                                    Attention: No refunds!
                                   
Voting
-------------------------
You can vote by paying the assigned voting fee of L$25 per vote. There is a max of 5 votes per avatar per day. The board will tell you how much votes are left each time you vote for a person. You can NOT vote for yourself. In case of a voting fee the payed amount will NOT be paid back if you try to
vote for yourself! Voting fees will not be refunded under any circumstances.

Winner selection
-------------------------
The owner/host decides when they will close the contest and select a winner at the end of February.
The current 5 top voted are listed on the main display along with their current votes.
The L$3,000 prize will be split to the top three contestants as 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize. On a draw (same amount of votes) there will
be no split of the prize amount - the system internally selects who of them will be 1st or 2nd (e.g. 2nd or 3rd).
The first ranked person will also win TASTE Tempation ~ Petal and the chance to pose for an ad in a SL magazine for taste (please note that taste reserves the right to require you change your hair and/or shape or anything else about your avatar for the purpose of modeling. Failure to agree to do so will result in a runner-up being chosen to model).
The winner names will be announced in open chat and also displayed on the Photo Contest System.

Thank you & Good Luck!

Secrets of her owner: Quirina Firehawk
