Now the Fairelands are open, there is so much to see and do; fund-raising, shopping, dancing, exploring, telling tales, sharing in adventures, joining the hunt … the list is quite fantastic!
One thing many of us will doubtless be doing is taking photographs, both as keepsakes and to share. So, given the Fairelands are still young, and the days still stretch before us, I thought that rather than write about my own travels across the Fairelands just yet, I’d take a little time to remind you of the Fantasy Faire Calendar Competition.
2015 marks the second year in which the calendar competition has been run, and once again, it gives entrants the opportunity to be immortalised in print and help raise even more for Relay for Life!

The Faire organisers are looking for photographs that best capture the spirit of each of the thirteen sims – and the winners will be included in the Fantasy Faire 2016 calendar (with credits for the photographers) that will be created in Second Life, and in real life using Lulu.com, and sold to raise money for Relay for Life. So this year, people really will be able to take the Faire home with them – and share it with their friends and family too!
The rules for the competition are straight-forward:
- Photographs are to be taken at your choice of the thirteen individually themed regions for this year’s Fantasy Faire
- Entries for the competition must be uploaded to the Fantasy Faire [Photography Contest] Flickr group
- Photographs may be edited with any photo editing software, and must be a minimum size of 1800 pixels high and 2300 pixels wide
- Please do not take selfies or add text to your images – the aim is to capture the beauty of the Fairelands and their surroundings. Figures may appear in your photos, but should not be the focus of your submissions
- All pictures should be PG rated. Any pictures failing to comply with this rule will be disqualified (and that includes nudity)
- Fantasy Faire & Relay for Life of Second Life reserve the right to use photograph submissions for event advertising and publication.
The deadline for all submissions to the competition is 23:59 SLT Wednesday, May 6th.
