The big news about Linden Lab's announcement a few days ago was that they had chosen the theme and logo for this year's Second Life Birthday: "Our Fantastic Future." But there was more. They were also accepting applications for positions at the event as general performers, and applications for positions in the Music Fest.
... we are opening applications for Music Fest, to be held on June
22nd-24th. Music Fest will kick off the overall SL20B celebration with
three days of live music performances featuring some of the most
talented live musicians in Second Life! ... We are also opening up applications for the general performance
schedule. Why celebrate for one day when we can party for a week?! We
are looking for all types of performers to join the week-long
festivities from June 25th to July 2nd. Are you a DJ who can spin up a
great party set or a live performer who can jam all night? You might be
one of the grid’s amazing Dance companies, or perhaps you’re a Particle
Performer? One of the things that makes Second Life so vibrant and
exciting is the wide range of performers who share their talent with our
Residents. Whatever your medium, we would love to hear from you!
To apply for the SLB Music Fest, one needs to fill out this Google doc (link). The doc needs to be filled out by April 9. While musicians were paid by the Lab in past years, it will not be the case this year but they can still rezz a tip jar, and 350 prims (LI) worth of props. It is to be understood that this is a family-friendly event, and song lyrics must be G-rated. Performance times are an hour each, and showing up on time is necessary to take part. Musicians must also be able to use the event's own stream.
To apply to be an SLB general performer, you need to fill out this Google doc (link). Conditions are much the same as Music Fest Musicians. But if the performance is a group one, such as a dance troope, the prim allowance for props will be raised to 1000 prims (LI). Changes of information, such as names, and time are allowed up to 48 hours of the event.
No applications are available for event volunteer staff yet. Presumably they will be out soon.
The Music Fest itself runs from Thursday June 22 to Sunday June 24. The SL20B goes on from Thursday June 22 to Tuesday July 11. The Music Fest began in 2015 in the days when Second Life Birthdays were run not by the Lab, but by a resident-run volunteer team. It would be the start of Linden Lab's gradual re-involvement in the Second Life Birthday. Eventually, the Lab would take full control of the SLB events, but the Music Fest would remain.
