February is the month of love, and a great time to show off your photo taking skills. If this sounds fun, then we have a contest for you! Take an inworld image that you feel portrays your Second Life love story. Get creative — but keep it clean! A Second Life love story can mean different things to different people. Maybe you met your RL partner in SL, or you have a Second Life romance to share. Perhaps you just fell in love with all of Second Life! Read all the contest details and then submit your photo. The person who submits the winning image will get to share their Second Life love story with the rest of Second Life residents in a blog with additional images to help illustrate their story. Their blog post will be posted on the Second Life Inworld blog space for the whole community to read and enjoy. We will tweet and post links on the official SL Facebook page to the winner’s love story! How to participate: Take a picture, save it on your computer and then upload it on the contest page. Entries will be accepted noon (Pacific) on Feb. 6 through 11:59pm (Pacific) Feb. 14. How to Vote: Voting begins Feb. 15, 12:01am (Pacific) and ends Feb. 21, noon (Pacific).

To celebrate this month of amore, we invite you to share a little love for your Second Life crush or flame in a short but sweet love note. Compose a haiku, pen some romantic prose, or simply proclaim your love in the Love Gallery- in 50 words or less! Look for this to go live at 12 p.m. Pacific on February 1st in the Official Contests. Let your romantic side shine, embrace the spirit of Saint Valentine and take a moment to ask that special someone to “Be Mine”, or admire them more discreetly with a little love note. You can read what other’s have left - you never know there may be one for you. Don’t forget, you only have 50 words to craft your ode! Kudos are open, so feel free to give them freely in the spirit of the month. Love Me Notes will run from now until 12 p.m Pacific on February 29th, so take the power of the pen to the forums and bring on the love. Simply click the New Entry link to get started.
