Bright Canopy’s new blog has launched, and with it a competition as well.
The blog, which will be used to keep people up-to-date with developments in the project and news on things like the upcoming pre-launch beta testing, is still a work-in-progress, and the introductory note indicates there may be a few changes as things settle down.
As well as the introductory note, the blog also carries a brief update, which includes some news on the forthcoming pre-launch beta programme, and also information on the aforementioned competition.
This is a photo contest, and on offer is a free month’s subscription to Bright Canopy once it officially launches.
Those interested in participating are invited to submit a snapshot, taken in-world, which can be used as the background image for the Bright Canopy desktop – the screen users will see when they log-in to the service, and which allows them to launch the viewer to access Second Life or OpenSim.
Snapshots must be at least 2000×1378 pixels, and must be PG in nature – so no nudity! The guidelines for the competition note that Bright Canopy are looking for images that will make a good desktop background; things like in-world landscape pictures. They note that avatars can be included, but shouldn’t be the primary focus.
Submission can be made via one of the following methods:
- A Tweet to BrightCanopyApp
- A message to Bright Canopy on G+
- Through the Bright Canopy Facebook page
All entries should feature the hashtag #SLFreedom, and those entering via Twitter or Google+ message should also follow Bright Canopy, while those entering via Facebook are asked to Like the Bright Canopy page. In addition, all entries must be submitted through the chose channel no later than 23:59 pm PDT on Friday, May 24th, 2015. Please make sure you ready the competition notes and guidelines in the Bright Canopy blog prior to entering.
There’s currently no date for the official launch of the service, so the winner may have a short wait before the closing date and getting access to Bright Canopy.
