Be a Bibiten model

Do you have nice photos of Bibiten clothes? I am having a Bibiten modelling competition! L$2000 first prize, L$1000 second prize, $500 third prize. Your photos could be featured on the blog, in the store, and on Bibiten ads. The closing date is 2010-01-10.

Here are some lovely photos made by my friend Skyline a while ago, just as some examples. But let your imagination wild!

How to enter:

• Please make sure your photographs are at least 512x512, and preferably higher resolution. Use Second Life “Hi Res” screenshot if you can. Here is the Second Life guide to taking snapshots.
• Please make sure the Bibiten clothing is featured prominently. Even better if it is in a cool or fun context with an interesting or lifelike pose. Try to avoid common “model poses”.
• Do not manipulate or touch-up your pictures with Photoshop except to crop or make global adjustments to brightness, colour balance, contrast etc. I want to see things as they are in Second Life.
• Upload your photograph to a photo sharing site such as Flickr and add it to the comments on the Bibiten blog entry.

As an extra incentive, I will refund you for up to five clothes you model. Here is how:

1. Buy the clothing from Bibiten.


2. Make some modelling photos and post them here.


3. Send me an IM saying which thing you bought. I will send you a refund!

I'm running this competition mostly for fun, but partly to get some nice pictures to help me promote Bibiten. So if you'd rather not have me use your photo for that, please don't submit it.

I'm really looking forward to seeing some great pictures!

Here are some of the entries so far from the Flickr pool:
