... ENTRY RULES ...

  • you may submit up to 5 entries only in total (any combination of objects &
    artwork) - please submit your entries all at the same time, not in a series of
    separate submissions

  • you have from January 1st until midnight March 28th to submit your entries

  • your entries must have been uploaded to the Mall in 2008

  • any kind of upload is permitted excepting those number 1/10 or less (so no personal HOLDS, but colony & city HOLDS & regular Mall uploads numbered 1/11 or more & all unlimited uploads are permitted)

  • it is recommended that you avoid submitting more than one version of the same object (eg. the same sofa in different colors), or similar objects (eg. two different plants), so that you are not competing against yourself in the same category; the same applies to artworks with themes which are too similar (eg. two fairy pics)

  • when you fill in the name of the object on the entry form use the name exactly
    as it was named for the Mall upload

  • you must submit using the nickname you uploaded with

  • if alts are also used in your creating/art, you may include the object(s) but must
    also notify the Awards Team ... if you have EMAILED your entries, include a note
    with your entries explaining that you are the same person ... if you have used the ENTRY FORM, you must also
    EMAIL re Alts the Awards Team ... anyone found at
    any time during or after the Awards to have entered more than once will be
    removed from the Voting/Awards rolls

  • joint projects may be entered as a separate nick ... the partner involved must
    also
    EMAIL re Joint Project the CCA with their permission that these be entered

  • you will be given a choice of sending in your submission by EMAIL or by using
    an ENTRY FORM ... email addresses will not be kept on file by the CCA or used
    for purposes other than to communicate back to you if there is a problem with
    your submission

  • you will be asked to provide the urls for both the THUMB & the WRL file for your entries ... it might be a good idea to have these prepared ahead of time ... for those new to these things see below on how to find THUMB & WRL URLS

  • categories are completely flexible from year to year & are determined by the entries submitted in a particular year & the Team's ability to sort them into meaningful categories ... every effort will be made to intelligently & appropriately place entries in categories ... if a category ends up with only 1 entry in it the creator/artist will win by default or may choose to have their work moved to another category or substitute another work ... if team members have difficulty placing an item in a category the creator will be consulted for their preference

  • we are allowing 3 months for submissions (Jan-Mar) & a month of voting (Apr)

  • all entrants will receive a special trophy for entering & winners will additionally
    receive a winners trophy & an honorarium (amount TBA)

  • if you have any questions, please leave them in the MUSEUM INBOX so that
    they may be answered by available Staff

... HOW TO FIND URLs ...

FOR THUMBS : open the 2D properties page of your entry. Right-click on the black
area of the pop-up box. Scroll down to 'View Source' & click. That will open the html coding area of the properties page. DO NOT PANIC !!! Scroll a little less than half-
way down the page of coding & look carefully for a line that says "Object Properties"
Just a little lower down from that you'll see a line that reads:

<td><IMG SRC=...

From that line COPY/PASTE or copy down ONLY the part between the "s that BEGINS
with :

/dbobjects/SO/c0/00... to the end where there is another "

Do not include the final "

Your thumb URL will look something like this:

/dbobjects/SO/c0/00/01/ab/c/texture.jpg

FOR WRL FILES : in the 2D properties box there is a link to view your entry in 3D which looks like this : here - open it up then right-click on the black area, a menu will appear. Scroll down to Help then to World Info & click. A small box will appear. At the top of that box is the URL. Place your cursor over the url path & click. Then right-click & Select All. Then right-click again & choose Copy. COPY/PASTE this URL to your entry form. It will look something like this :

http://www.cybertown.com/dbobjects/SO/c0/00/01/ab/c/myentry.wrl
