- 12:30-2 PM SLT: Hedgie Dance at Hatchie Haven
As a special treat, and in keeping with the Theme of the Spring Hedgie Festival, the Herald is sponsoring a Hedgehog Costume Contest.
Rules:
1. Must be worn on a Daryth Kennedy Hedgehog Avatar {remember, all proceeds from the Hedgehog sales goes to the animal hospital in Real Life}
2. Costume must follow the rules of the sim. No working weapons, no adult themes, and so on.
3. Costumes may be made, purchased, or scrounged from dumpsters. This is a fun costume creative contest, not a building contest.
4. The judging will be done by the means of photos of the avatar in their costume. This means that you must either, supply a good quality photo of the costume with you in it, OR, you may request a photo be taken by the Herald staff to be submitted to the contest. A photo studio has been set up in the Guild Hall in Tir na Lir for you to use and for the Staff to use for this contest.
Citizen Voting and Judging will be combined to choose the winners.
5. NO CHEATING!! ^.^ You may be asked to wear your costume for a staff member to verify that the photo is genuine. We would also like to see you in your costumes at the dance, where there will be door prizes chances for participants but only if in costume.
The Dance, which will be at the Hatchie Haven Clubhouse, is for everyone, but hedgies and hatchies are recommended due to the size of the venue. Larger avatars will have to dance in the street or the parking lot.
PHOTO entries must be in my hands by no later then Feb 28th. You can IM to get your photo taken if you prefer, or drop a notecard to Skylarian Isachenko.
