As part of the Festival, there will be two contests, a favourite domain competition and a second iteration of their best avatar contest (the first one was held at the most recent avatar domain capacity stress test):

We want to see and celebrate High Fidelity’s best avatar creators and the models that wear them. The winners will be selected by a panel of celebrity judges, and this time, also the people in attendance!

One grand prize winner will be awarded the HFC equivalent of $1,000 US and two runner-ups the equivalent of $500 US. HFC can now be converted to US dollars. For more information, read here.

Rules:

  • Entries must not violate other’s intellectual property.

Contestants are encouraged but not required to use our flow script technology which gives clothes, hair and other attachments movement. Avatars can be humanoid or non-humanoid. Avatars can be photo-real or stylized.

To apply, fill out this form.

Looks like fun! You can register for tickets via EventBrite.
