***Vampires Photo Contest*** JUNE/JULY 2012

Find your inner vamp in our fun new Flickr photo contest! You will need to have a flickr account and join the Illuminati Domus:Paradise Lost flickr group in order to enter (see below for details). You don't have to be a vampire in order to enter our contest, and you can take your inspiration from legend, novels, films, whatever you wish. Be creative and have fun! Your photo must be taken at Paradise Lost and include vampires as its theme, in order to be eligible to enter the contest.

Dates of the contest
June 4th - July 6th 2012

Prize
1st prize - $1500L
2nd prize - $1000L
3rd prize - $500L

How to enter
1. Take photos of yourself and/or others in a vampire theme on Paradise Lost island, and post them in the Illuminati Domus:Paradise Lost Flickr group:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/paradise_lost/

You must sign up to flickr.com in order to be able to do this (this is very easy and takes only a couple of minutes, it's free and all you need is an email address - you can use your SL name for this if you need to make a new email address). It is also free to save your pictures from Second Life onto your computer hard drive. You may enter as many times as you wish and the contest is open to everyone in SL.

*All entrants must follow these rules otherwise they will be disqualified.*

2. Photo editing is allowed, but not essential. Experiment with SL's shadows, depth of field and windlight effects at your leisure and take the most imaginative and creative shots of Paradise Lost Vampires that you can. If you want to try editing, you can download GIMP editing software for free at https://www.download-free.com/photo-editor?source=ga. You can also use www.picmonkey.com to edit work quickly and easily.

3. Your pics can be in any style you wish, as long as they are to do with vampires, use your imagination! Will you be Count Dracula, an ancient Egyptian Vampire, a modern vampire?!
NB - The roleplaying Vampires in the Illuminati Domus family are "enlightened" vampires who try to fight against their evil origins, they never bite anyone who has not shown an interest in being bitten! But anyone can enter this contest and dress up as Paradise Lost vampires or find some vampires to take photos of!

NB: The photos can include any vampire themes, and do have fun, but please, don't include anything that could be described as pornographic or that contains too much gore!! (The flickr group is not an "over 18" group - subtle nudity or blood trickles are allowed, if you have any questions, please contact me.)

4. The title for your contest entry to Flickr should be:
"Paradise Lost Vampires - Contest Entry" - you can add a subtitle as well if you wish. If you don't include this as your title, your entry will not be accepted for the contest.

5. Only the three winning photographers who enter on flickr will receive the prizes. If you choose to share your prize with the person/people in the photograph/s this is up to you. The Judges' decision is final.

6. The closing date is final, anything submitted after this time will not be accepted.

7. The winning photos will be chosen by a panel of judges. By entering the contest you agree to allow Illuminati Domus to display your work on Paradise Lost Island.

8. The three winners will be announced on Flickr and the Illuminati Domus inworld group on July 8th, and the prizes given on this date as well.

Good Luck!
