I have earlier informed you that the board of Second Pride had started a photo contest for Second Pride 2011.
The day before yesterday this notice was sent out in the Second Pride group:
Second Pride invites professional and non-professional photographers in SL to submit their work to the 1st Edition of Second Pride Annual Photo Contest. Traditional, contemporary, avant-garde, creative and experimental works that include old and new processes, mixed techniques, and challenging personal, emotional or political statements are welcome.
What are the hallmarks of a winning picture in SPAPC? Technical quality, clarity, composition but also a flair for the unexpected and an ability to capture a picture-perfect moment. Enter photographs in any of our four categories:
- Festival sim
- Events
- Outfits
- AIDS Quilt
Then, you can compete to win cash prizes as well as the opportunity to have your work printed in Prism magazine (+ an interview) and exhibited in an SL Gallery.
The contest is open until June 30th, 2011 at 12:00 PM SLT. The Second Pride judges (the Board) will post the best of the incoming entries in the photo Gallery of our web site. Finalists will be announced on August 1st, 2011. Winner will be announced by September 15th, 2011.
The 2011 Grand Prize Winner will receive L$3,000 – the first monetary prize ever offered by Second Pride for its annual photo contest –, picture + interview to be published in the September 2011 issue of Prism and the opportunity to be exhibited in an SL Gallery.
Thank you for sharing your vision of Second Pride with us.
Keep an eye on the Second Pride website and good luck to everyone!

It seems the board has now decided to make the contest annual and alsoto offer alternative ways to submit your contributions to the contest.
Both of the boards decisions are excellent!
I actually created an account on Flickr for the purpose of submitting my pictures to the group. Everytime I tried to do that I got a message from Flickr that I wasn't allowed to do that for several specific reasons that made no sense at all. I am sure I screwed up in some way so I had given up on the idea after 20 tries. Now I may reconsider.
