To spur new ideas and creativity and to restore the thematic elements of Colonia Nova, CDS is conducting a contest. The goal of the contest is to acquire new texture sets to be available to anyone wishing to use them in CDS sims. And we want them fast, so they can be used in the new construction in the South East Corner of the forum, presently underway..
The Contest rules:
1. Each entrant should provide a minumum of the following:
- two textures for external walls/facades and columns
- two textures for internal walls
- one for external pavements
2. The textures should reflect the theme of a thriving roman city that is approximately 200 years old. Not Urban Decay, but not bright and new either. Consider the exhibit in Locus Amoenus entitled "79 AD - Roman houses back to reality" as a guideline. All textures must be original work and the entrant must own complete intellectual property rights to the textures.
3. All textures must be freely distributable. CDS will acquire a full permission non-exclusive license to
the selected textures pursuant to the License agreement effective December 9, 2007.(available here: http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2183) Textures not chosen will be returned to the creator. CDS will have no right to use textures not chosen.
4. Eligibility and Judging: Anyone, whether a CDS citizen or not, is welcome to enter this contest. All New Guild participants are encouraged to enter. Judging will be done by the CDS Chancellor and LRA. Officers and members of the CDS New Guild are NOT disqualified.
5. Prize: 3000L for the full set of textures, and as many bragging rights as you can take!
The judges reserve the right to make selections from different sets and offer other or proportionate compensation, or to choose no winner at all.
6. To enter: Place all textures in a folder marked "Facelift Contest-Your Name", and deliver to Rose Springvale in world. IM Rose that you have dropped inventory on her.
7. DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES: February 26, midnight SLT.
Good Luck!
