Greetings Second Lifers.  Some of you may remember from last yeat the Harb40 Passion Competition.  Well, it will be back again this year and now it has it's own dedicated website with it's own forums section to discuss the competition, passion and things in general.

You can see the main site here or go directly to the forums here.  We hope to see a few more entries from the Second Lefe community this year.  We did have 1 entry last year that was very good.  Check it out an stay tuned for details on this years competition.  As with last year, I will post the rules, theme and where to enter on these forums.

The redesigned website is now up.  We added a forums section that is publically viewable but registration is required to post.  You can reach the forums either by going to the main site or by going straight to the forums themselves.

We hope you like the new place to visit.  Second Life users are highly encouraged to participate.  Reallusion has shown an interest in you and are hoping some of you may try to combine the the different engines and make something grand. 

We also added a page to the main site letting people know a little about who Harb40 is.


For those who are interested in this competition, please go to the forums section and let your voices be heard.  Who knows, the sponsors we already have, and those I am trying to get signed on, may look at the posts and help out more if they see more activity.


This will also give us some ideas of what you are looking for in a competition and keep the themes fresh.  Let us know if there are any sponsors you would like to see and prizes you think would be good.  Post them in the forums on the Passion Competition website current and future sponsors can see.           

It is our hope that the Second Life community will be more open to this competition and participate more.  There are a few places in the Second Life world where the competition is being advertised.  We will try to get more adveritising in-world as we can find more SL'ers willing to help us out.

 Things are really looking up for this year's competition. All entries this year will go through the forums on the competition website.


 Stay tuned for more updates.

Crimes of Passion

2012 Passion Competition  Rules and Guidelines


A Crime of Passion, or crime passionnel, in popular usage, refers to a crime in which the perpetrator commits a crime, especially assault, murder or rape, against someone because of a sudden strong impulse such as sudden rage or heartbreak rather than as a premeditated crime.


A typical crime of passion might involve an aggressive bar patron who assaults another patron following an argument or a husband who discovers his wife has made him a cuckold and proceeds to brutally batter or even kill his wife and the man she was involved with. Maybe the scorned wife finds the husband cheating. A diner goes into a rage over someone else's cell phone use.  The soldier who loses it on the battlefield after seeing a fellow soldier killed (revenge or retaliation).  The possibilities are endless.


The task at hand will be to make a film showcasing your interpretation of a Crime of Passion.


Rules and Guidelines


Dates: September 1, 2012 to November 3, 2012 (12 midnight EST)


Film Length: The film can  be any length. It is preferred if the total length is not over 30 minutes but longer films will be accepted.  All judges are required to view the whole film so the longer the films, the longer it will take to judge.


Film Age: This can be a new film or one you have made previously. 

 
Engine: This film can be made using any program you desire (iClone,Moviestorm, The Movies, Poser, Daz, The Sims, game engines such as Halo, GTA, COD, WOW and more) or live action.  Any form you desire.


Required Theme Element: Must involve a crime of passion.  Any films not done in English must have English subtitles so the judging panel can fully understand the dialog.


Where to upload: Can be uploaded to any site (YouTube, Vimeo, TMU, etc.) but a link must be given in the submission form. (example below)  Keep in mind that if the site you upload to requires registration or membership, the videos might not be viewable by the general population.  It is preferred that sites like YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion and others be used.


Warnings: Since this competition is open to all ages, if any strong language or nudity is used, a disclaimer must be presented either at the start of the film or on the film page.


Credits: Any use of voice actors, music not supplied with the program of choice or composed by yourself, any mods not made by yourself or an official add-on is recommended to be credited either in the film or on the film page but is not required.


Persons not eligible: Due to the nature of the prizes, the 2011 winners, Josephkw, KV and Kibishipaul are ineligible for entry this this.  All winners are ineligible for the next year's competition but will be eligible the following year.


Judges:
Henrick Safegaard (Safegaard Cloneartist)

Joseph Kwong (Josephkw)
