MachinUWA III: Journeys

The 3rd UWA Machinima Challenge is rapidly drawing to a close, in fact the closing date 1st May 2011.

The University of Western Australia (UWA) themed their latest machinima challenge simply 'Journeys'. With an amazing prize pool of $L530,000 broken down as follows:

2nd Prize $L70,000
3rd Prize $L50,000

Entrants were told that defining what a ‘journey’ was, was entirely up to them; A journey through Second Life; A journey of self discovery; A journey within; A journey from SL too RL, or vice-versa; A journey through space, through time, a journey of hope, a journey of despair; Their own journey or a journey by someone else seen through their eyes... or... through Second Life in 80 Days, whatever they could imagine.

Jayjay told me that they have had a fantastic response to their ‘Journeys’ challenge with entries being received from all around the world.

A Winner has been chosen for SLE's 2011 Easter Egg Decorating Contest!

This year contestant from across the grid participated in our second annual Easter Egg decorating contest.

Entrants were given decorating kits that included an egg template and instructions. No Scripts, no advertising and created with a max of 10 prims.  From creative graphics to elegantly sculpted stands and accessories. Each avatar put in their creativity and came up with some great ideas.  Clearly imaginations run free in Second Life and here at the SL Enquirer, they sure did.

After a weekend of judging and tallying up votes, The SL Enquirer unanimously agreed that Fiery Bloom created by Queen Edman is this years winner!

Congratulations to Queen who received 2000 Lindens, a spotlight feature and an official SLE "Recognized for Excellence" Award.

Thank you all for participating in this event!

FYI Talk ~~ Essence of Ebony CEO and Model Latrelly Flux

As an African-American woman in real life and in Second Life, I'm always interested in learning of people, events, and spaces in the metaverse where African Americans are acknowledged, celebrated, and given support.

Over a month ago, I was at a talk show on the grid where the discussion was on black models in Second Life. Specifically, the hosts were talking to the CEO of the Miss Essence of Ebony Competition, Latrelly Flux, the model VA community manager Kalyabreea Capelo, and Miss EoE 2011 Imani Enzo.

In real-life, as a doctoral student, I'm interested in the ways African American women find, create, and develop themselves in virtual spaces, so the discussion on race, gender, virtual worlds, community, and more fascinated me beyond belief.

It was that fascination that made me contact Flux so that I could sit down with her, talk to her, and learn more about EoE; it is an entity in Second Life that definitely deserves press.
