The Second Pride Festival 2016

Some people have already asked me, if there will be a Second Pride Festival this year. I have been very happy to reassure them that there will indeed be one this year also.

Invitations to Sponsors and Vendors have already been sent out through the Second Pride Festival group, so to keep yourself informed it is an excellent idea to rejoin that group now (I know some of you have the extremely bad habit of leaving the group after the elections to rejoin again just before the festival. What, with 42 groups you don't have one to spare, huh?)

This is the information of the upcoming event that I have assembled from note cards in the group and information on the SP website.

As many of you perhaps remember the SP board has been struggling throughout the year by being understaffed already from the beginning. The fact that board members have jumped ship after being elected has severely aggravated the problem. So let's all do what we can to help the board out.

Here we go!

Requirements for stores

• While not required,  we ask that you consider offering at least one free item at your store  that is of good quality. "Pride special giveaways" helps attract customers, increase traffic in your store, and helps assure that everyone has fun!
• Please do not rez objects outside your allocated store space. This keeps the walkways free.
• Do not use heavy scripted objects or rezzers. This is a requirement as many people will be on the sim and less lag is better than lots of lag. Do not use scripts that shout or emote in local chat. We reserve the right to ask you to remove scripts if they interfere with other vendors.
• This is a moderate Sim. Second Pride is open and welcoming to the entire community. Please use common sense in your store design. Do not use obscene language or offensive images such as  images of sex with minors . Second Pride reserves the right to remove materials that may be in violation of SL Terms of Service.
• You must stay within your allocated prim count.

Vendor opportunities

Vendor opportunities can help encourage customers to shop and increase traffic to your store. We encourage all vendors to participate in one or more of the following: 

• Fundraiser Item- Create a fund raiser item that fits the theme of the festival with 100% of the proceeds going to Second Pride. This item will be in a special vendor provided for you and featured in an article in Prism magazine generating more buzz for your store and giving you a way to offer something unique at the event. 
• Freebie Item- Leave a free gift in a special object at your store. This object will be provided for you to put your free gift inside. It will be advertised in PRISM to look for this object in the stores to collect free gifts.

For both Sponsor and Vendor Packages

By the way, concerning performers and DJ's, I hope that we this year can go back to the tradition that all tips during this event are directed towards Second Pride. But that is just my own not so humble opinion.
