Are you up for a challenge? We’d like to see your interperative creations on the theme of “Beauty and the Beast”! You’ll make new jewelry/accessories to debut at our show, which will open May 14th – 23rd.

We’ve got a full sim, and it will be split into four sections, based on scenes from the story: the beast’s castle, the ballroom, the scary forest and the town square. You choose which setting will fit your style best, and then create something based on that theme. We’re already at work on a very elaborate build!

There will be only one booth size, and each will have 15 prims. ONLY pieces made for this show and made to fit the theme will be allowed to be displayed, and they must not have been sold or given away prior. You are free to do whatever you like with your creations after the show is over. One business per booth, and only one booth per business. Absolutely no Disney images or likenesses will be allowed. The story of Beauty and the Beast existed before Disney picked it up, and there is plenty of inspiration to be taken from previous interpretations of the story.

Cost of participation is L$500, to go towards sim rental and a healthy variety of advertising. Any leftover funds will be saved for the jewelry fair in the fall.

If you’re interested – take the following steps:
__________________________________________________
Make a notecard, title it “Jeweler’s Challenge – your name – business name”

Inside the notecard:

Your name:
Business partner’s name:
Alternate Contact (if any):

LM:

SLURL:

website:

theme area choice: beast’s castle, scary forest, village square, ballroom (pick first and second choice):

transaction details – pay L$500 to JewelryFair Juneberry, and then go to the SL website and paste the COMPLETE DETAILS for the transaction into this space here:

(Please be sure that the details include the transaction number, date, your name and amount paid.)
___________________________________________________

Drop the notecard on me, Eolande Elvehjem, and I will IM you to invite you to the Jewelers of SL group (if you are not already a member) and confirm your acceptance, give you the rules and info packet, and tell you which themed area you are assigned to.

I’m excited! Are you?
Eolande Elvehjem

All of these rules have been carefully thought out and discussed, and they are in place to make the challenge show to be fair to all who are participating, and keep the show as low lag and the environment as enjoyable as possible. Therefore there will be absolutely no exceptions to these rules. All booths will be checked thoroughly before the show starts, if there is a problem you will notified immediately and you’re expected to fix it before we open or the offending item will be returned to you.

Before I list the basics, I want to spell it out very very clearly….. Absolutely NO DISNEY images/likenesses. The story of Beauty and the Beast existed before Disney picked it up, and there is plenty of inspiration to be taken from previous interpretations of the story.

1. No scripted vendors, except you may use a simple split profits script. (I know a lot of you use networked vendors. We just can’t add that extra strain to a single sim that’s already going to be full of laggy avatars. I’m sure a lot of you have really great fuctioning ones, the problem is that we just can’t go checking 150 sellers to make sure everyone has a good vendor script. It’s just ten days, lets get our sales data from the spreadsheets off of the SL website. You can sort by region!)

2. No hovertext, no particles, no sounds, no physical prims, no flexi, no sculpts, no moving parts.

3. Everything sold or given away must be your own creation. Everything you sell must be specifically for the challenge event. Nothing may be sold that was in some way given away or sold previously. All of your pieces must fit with the theme of the area you choose. If you have extra space you may not fill it in with stuff from your store. When the show is over you can sell your creations from the show however you like of course!

4. No temp rezzers, no listening scripts, no greeters. No multi-item vendors.

5. No scrolling textures, no animated textures, no form of automated texture changing.

6. One subscriber or goup joiner will be allowed per booth.

7. You can not make any changes to the appearance of your booth. No modification to the appearance by putting up your own walls. This is a themed challenge, and everything in the show will go with the theme.

8. No textures with a pixel dimension over 512, the only exception is if you use a 1024 and use it on no less than four prims.

9. Two textures per prim: one for box front and one texture for sides/back. PLEASE seriously consider using default blank, or one of the included textures. Tinting is ok. (Textures in notecard in group notices)

10. All your stuff must be confined within your space. The parameters of your area will be shown to you clearly when the booth sample comes out.

11. While the sim will be mature, but please if there are pieces that are explicity adult, they need to be discreetly displayed. Keep those vendors small and to the side. We’ll be glad to pre-approve your set up whenever you are ready.

12. One business per booth. (Business may include multiple partners/managers.)

13. No staff/hosts/models, or anything of the sort.

14. Absolutely no merchandise other than jewelry and accessories will be allowed to be for sale or advertised at the challenge show. For example, including but not limited to: clothing, shoes, and hair. Absolutely no promotion of non-jewelery related products, for example: no freebies, no ad textures, no signs.

15. Do not leave the Jewelers in SL group until the challenge show is completely over. It must be your avatar, not an alt, in the group.

16. Please please please, when you come to the show, take off: AO’s, avatar radars, scripted hair, all HUDs, any other scripted attachments, and even your jewelry. Most lag is created by over dressed avatars!

17. You must post the sign and/or texture in your store and mall stores at least two weeks prior to the prevent. Any additional advertising that you can provide would be wonderful!

During the show, if you come and walk around, please be mindful of how full the sim is. If the sim is full, you’re taking up the space of someone who is there to spend money!

Now that i know the rules what am i allowed to make and sell?:

Necklaces
chokers
Earrings
Bracelets
bangles
Anklets
Hair Accessories (no hair!)
body jewelry
any piercings anywhere
tiaras/crowns
circlets
arm bands
rings
toe rings
chain maille
collars
watches
bellychains (but no belts)
glasses
nails (prim only)
tattoos (prim only)
silks (as long as they are almost completely jewelery prims, subject to approval)

The sim will be mature, but please if there are pieces that are explicity adult, they need to be discreetly displayed.

If you have something in mind that is not on this list, IM me to be ok’d I know you guys are *really* imaginative…. 0.o

<3 Eolande

PS – no whining

Autumn Booths (Red)

I’ve labeled the areas, and the pink dots are tp points with ad signs, the yellow dots are extra tp points. The whole thing is divided into 8 equal sections with their own tp points to ease the flow of avatars. We’ve done our best to spread things out evenly!

It is color coded to season – green is summer, purple is spring, red is fall and gray is winter. If you requested a season you got it, look in the notecard to find your name. If you didn’t choose you’re in there somewhere….. I’ve not had a chance yet to alphabetize them but I will before the fair starts.

REMEMBER THE RULES. They will be enforced.

When you are done setting up, send a notecard to your season manager to have it checked out.
Spring: Alexandra Michols
Summer: DarionMonkee Levitt
Winter: Hibiscus Flossberg
Fall: Gwen Carillon

Remember you need to wear your group tag before you can enter and start rezzing things. If you’ve picked up a bunch of unlinked prims in one grouping make sure you have your EDIT MENU OPEN WHEN YOU REZZ so they don’t go landing in the middle of a hedge. If you do lose something in a hedge, you can easily retrieve it by going to the tools menu and chosing “select only my objects”. Then you can select a large area and find that lost prim.

I really hope I’m not forgetting something….. 0.o
Good luck!?

This is a jewelry fair, but really an accessories fair. So many prim decorations for our avatars can be classified under various categories, so to include a wide variety of creations we’re keeping it broad. Basically the idea is for prim adornments that aren’t covered by other fairs like clothing, hair, shoes, etc.

Necklaces
chokers
Earrings
Bracelets
bangles
Anklets
Hair Accessories (no hair!)
body jewelry
any piercings anywhere
tiaras/crowns
circlets
arm bands
rings
toe rings
chain maille
collars
watches
Belts
glasses
nails (prim only)
tattoos (prim only)

We are going to allow belts, hats and handbags. I know these are really on the fence between clothing and accessories…. so we’ve decided as long as they aren’t just basics but are more detailed and jeweled out then they’d definetly fit in with the spirit.

SILKS: And along those same lines, we decided it would be ok to have jewelry with a piece or two of fabric in it. WE ARE STILL SAYING NO SILKS, but it’s been demonstrated that many of you make body jewelry that just happens to have a little piece of fabric, as clearly 99% of the content is jewelry. And it’s hardly fair to consider anything with a piece of fabric to be strictly classified as clothing, especially when we’re already allowing for hats and handbags.

I know it’s not cool to go back on a rule, however this is YOUR fair, not mine, and ultimately I can’t just stick my nose up and say what’s done is done too bad when there’s a lot of good points made. We have to make the judgement calls as the need arises, and thanks for understanding that.

There’s a LOT of gray area here, I know. We weren’t intending to make fine drawn out lines of what is and isn’t allowed, and I really don’t want a lot of gnashing teeth over what’s ok and what’s not. I hope this settles things…..

If you have something in mind that is not on this list, IM me to be ok’d I know you guys are *really* imaginative…. 0.o

<3 Eolande

Thanks for doing this!!

Reminder: this piece you are offering must be one of a kind, not just recolored. You can’t give it away or sell it anywhere else.

Photograph your piece(s) and do up a box ad like you would for anything you were selling in your store.

Set your piece(s) to no copy/transfer. You can set mod perms as you prefer.

Put the goods in a gift box along with LM, notecards, anything you want to be given along with it, and put the box texture in there as well please.

Make a folder, and title it “Auction Item – yourname, storename”. Put in it the gift box and the texture (for me to use on the poster.)

Give the folder to JewelryFair Juneberry.

Thanks!!!

NO vendors that have multiple items in them that you use arrows to go through and it makes the texture change.
absolutely no networked vendors.
please remember, this is not to cram your entire store into a booth, the point is to make a really attractive showcase of your best stuffs really, it would help a lot if you guys would all use just a straight set box for sale method i will be checking script times and if anything is a time hog i will be asking you to pick it up. thanks! <3 E

We’re going to have a dunk tank at the fair – and blue linden is going to volunteer for it on friday 25th from 3-4 pm. i’d like to fill in the rest of the days of the week with people willing to be dunked as well. if i get a lot of you interested i may add a second 1 hour daily shift, in the morning. IM me if you wanna be part of “dunk a jeweler for charity”

Dear Volunteer,

We will be needing volunteers to man the 4 entry points 24/7 if possible. In order to help the Fair run smoothly, please give us a little of your time. The volunteers are needed to greet guests as the arrive at the entry points, notify them of the rules and pass information. Please send me a notecard to Cory Hancroft named “Jewelry Fair Volunteer” with the times you are available and number of days you would like to help out. Every little bit helps. Please feel free to contact me with your questions and concerns. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Jewelry Fair 2009
