As part of our Leap Year Party this evening, I will be launching the First Annual jokaydia Photo Competition! 

Everyone is invited to take part in our first community art project/competition - which is all about taking interesting, artistic, crazy and/or creative shots to be displayed in our new Gallery space on jokaydia, which will launch at the end of March.

There’s only one catch - we’ve picked the location! Your images MUST be taken within the jokaydia Estate.

How to Enter

1. Create a really interesting image using the Second Life camera tools.
2. Upload your photograph to Flickr and tag it with ‘jokaydiaphotocomp08‘. You also need to add your image to the jokaydia Photo Pool. You’ll find instructions on how to join the group and add your image here.
3. Wait with baited breath for the winners announcements in late March!
4. Closing date for photo submissions is 12pm 25 March 2008 (SL Time).

1. Best Image - a panel of judges will select a winning image.
