EOTB: Applications Now Being Accepted for SL21B "Shop And Hop"

 

On Monday May 6, Linden Lab announced it was accepting applications by merchants interested in taking part in the Second Life Birthday's "Shop and Hop" shopping event.

 

The SL21B Shop & Hop event is the official multi-region shopping event of the 21st annual Second Life birthday celebration. This event brings together many of the top merchants across SL for exclusive items and discounts on some of the best creations in Second Life.

Last year for the SL20B, for the first time there were two separate shopping areas, with a smaller one with adult-themed shopping sims. It will be the case again this year.

Those interested in opening up a store at the SL21B Shop and Hop will need to fill out an application on Google docs (here).  Setting up will take place from June 7 to June 10, and merchants are required to give one free gift out for people, regardless if they're in the store group or not. And there has to be a 20% discount on all items. Political references are to be avoided. The shops themselves cannot be used to promote items available only at other locations. And applying does not guarantee a spot.

 

Merchants interested in taking part only have a few days to apply. The deadline to apply to be a part of the SL21B Shop and Hop is Sunday May 12. 

 

The theme for this year's SLB is "Elements."  And for those interested in setting up an exhibit, applications are currently being accepted, but there are only a few days left to do so, until Sunday May 12. For those wishing to be volunteer staff, applications are also being accepted, also until Sunday May 12. For those wishing to be performers, there is more time for applications to be accepted, until Friday May 31.

There are typically four "Shop and Hop" events a year: Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day, and the Second Life Birthday.
