DESCRIPTION:
Secondnights.com will launch its new photo contest where contestants who would like to participate will do so by sending in great shots of the wonderful, creative, and entertaining world of SL. Remember, we only want to see amazing photos which feature venues from the Secondnights Venue List. Your entries can consist of pictures of fabulous parties, awesome fashion shows, dances, live performances by singers or bands, cool locations, and any interesting creative event or location that you can find on our list of venues. If you would like to accept this challenge we invite you to participate and show us what you can come up with. You will be allowed to take your shots during the venue's event or wait till after the event is over and use the location with models of your choice.

* The shots must be taken in High Resolution and with a width of almost 4000pxl (height proportional). On the site you can post an image of about 1200pxl of width max. We ask that you use high resolution because if your photo will be used for the magazine it is required. We accept edited and not edited photos.
