On Friday, Linden Lab announced the theme for the Second Life 18th Birthday, the official anniversary event of this virtual world, "Hidden Worlds." It would also announced they were
now accepting applications by exhibitors for the event.
This June, Second Life will be turning 18! The 18th annual Second
Life birthday celebration (SL18B) will be held from June 17th to July
1st. Get ready for fun-filled weeks of live music, performances,
shopping, and amazing community exhibits!
This year’s theme for SL18B is Hidden Worlds, but
don’t think that limits you! Just like last year, your exhibit does not
need to stay in theme. If you are inspired by the thought of the hidden
worlds around you, show us! Or, share your Second Life passions with us.
Your interests. Your communities. Your worlds! Every year we celebrate
because of you, the amazing and creative Residents, who have chosen to
call Second Life home. What has drawn you into this world and what keeps
you here? This year at the eighteenth annual Second Life Birthday, show
us what fuels your Second Life and inspires you. Let's go exploring!
For those wanting to take part as exhibitors, they need to fill out a form (link here). Near the top, it states there's been some changes since last year, so read through them. Among the rules are that the exhibits shouldn't be commercial, should have a general rating, can't have any "bots," and more. Exhibitors may ask for two co-builders to be allowed to build at the plot. Exhibit plots need to be claimed by June 1, and all builds finished for inspection by June 9.
The deadline to apply is May 28. The Lab has reminded that applying is no guarantee of being accepted. There are not yet applications for volunteers or performers, though people wishing to apply for those are asked to keep an eye out "over the next few months." There was also a reminder for the call for musicians for Music Fest.
