The Linden Prize: $10 000 US for good works
November 11, 2008
Linden Lab have announced the establishment of The Linden Prize.
Its purpose is to reward a Second Life presence that:
“achieves tangible, compelling results outside of Second Life”, is “distinctive, original work using Second Life that clearly demonstrates high quality, execution, function, aesthetics and technical sophistication” and that it “has the capacity for inspiring and influencing future development, knowledge, creativity, and collaboration both inside and outside of Second Life.”
Ten thousand US dollars goes to the winner and entries aren’t restricted to any particular country. The prize will actually be paid in Linden Dollars, which has its pros and cons.
After some challenging weeks for Linden Lab PR-wise, this announcement may garner some cynicism but it’s also an opportunity for Australian content creators to showcase their work. If you’re creativity in Second Life is having a real-world impact, then think about applying – you have until the 15th January 2009.
