Courtney Linden: /* MoM Application and Criteria */

==Linden Endowment for the Arts: Month of Machinima (MoM)==

Produced by the [[Linden_Lab_Official:Linden_Endowment_for_the_Arts|Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA)]], the Month of Machinima (MoM) event is a monthly screening of the best of Second Life machinima. Starting in April 2011, [https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/lindenlab.com/viewform?formkey=dDZ3a2FsYjJMNEM5dnU4X1VZZ1FQZ1E6MQ&ifq the LEA is accepting submissions each month] for consideration in the next month’s screening (see MoM Application and Criteria below). MoM is a recurring event, kicking off in May 2011 and continuing each month with juried and themed screenings of machinima created by members of the Second Life community.

The objectives of the event are to promote and stimulate Second Life machinima, encourage the creation of new work, and showcase existing work. It serves as an opportunity to introduce Residents to the machinima art form and to support the machinima community to continue to create these experiences for everyone to enjoy.

The May 2011 MoM event will be the first official event produced by the Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA). The purpose of the LEA is to help create a center of arts activity in Second Life. The LEA is committed to providing access to engaging experiences in the arts for the Second Life community. Through its exhibitions, programs, and events, the LEA fosters awareness of artists’ contributions to our virtual world and encourages others to get involved and be inspired.

==MoM Application and Criteria==

The LEA is looking for the best community-created art machinima in Second Life. All genres are welcome. This is a juried event, meaning that all submitted machinima will be reviewed for artistic integrity. The LEA reserves the right to refuse films without disclosing a reason. Here are the general guidelines for consideration:
* Maximum machinima length: For May: 3 minutes. For June: 6 minutes. Longer entries would be accepted for special screenings that allow for longer running times.
* Wide format.
* No UI in machinima, except when functional.
* No sex or violence (unless those are set as part of the monthly theme).
* Copyrights owned.
* Content of machinima must adhere to the theme (if a theme is announced for a given event).
** Theme for May 2011: None
** Theme for June 2011: Mixed Reality (SL machinima has to be part of the mix)
** Theme for July 2011: Games in SL
** Theme for August 2011: Design and Architecture
** Theme for September 2011: Seasons (in your life, the four seasons--get creative)
** Theme for October 2011: Four elements
** Theme for November 2011: SL Events
** Theme for December 2011: Endings, conclusions
* SL Art is your guideline in all submitted machinima. Be sure to be creative and take care of copyrights.

Interested in sharing your (or someone else’s) best machinima? [https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/lindenlab.com/viewform?formkey=dDZ3a2FsYjJMNEM5dnU4X1VZZ1FQZ1E6MQ&ifq Submit your application here]. Applications are due by the 10th of the month for consideration for the following month’s event. We can only schedule screening a limited number of machinima in any given month, so if your machinima is not selected for the next event, we will keep your machinima submission for consideration at a future event.

==LEA Code of Conduct==

In addition to the Terms of Service and the Community Standards, all participants and visitors to LEA events must agree to abide by the [[Linden_Lab_Official:Linden_Endowment_for_the_Arts|LEA Code of Conduct]].

==Linden Endowment for the Arts: Month of Machinima (MoM)==

Produced by the [https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Linden_Endowment_for_the_Arts Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA)], the Month of Machinima (MoM) event is a monthly screening of the best of Second Life machinima. Starting in April 2011, [https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/lindenlab.com/viewform?formkey=dDZ3a2FsYjJMNEM5dnU4X1VZZ1FQZ1E6MQ&ifq the LEA is accepting submissions each month] for consideration in the next month’s screening (see MoM Application and Criteria below). MoM is a recurring event, kicking off in May 2011 and continuing each month with juried and themed screenings of machinima created by members of the Second Life community.

The objectives of the event are to promote and stimulate Second Life machinima, encourage the creation of new work, and showcase existing work. It serves as an opportunity to introduce Residents to the machinima art form and to support the machinima community to continue to create these experiences for everyone to enjoy.

The May 2011 MoM event will be the first official event produced by the Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA). The purpose of the LEA is to help create a center of arts activity in Second Life. The LEA is committed to providing access to engaging experiences in the arts for the Second Life community. Through its exhibitions, programs, and events, the LEA fosters awareness of artists’ contributions to our virtual world and encourages others to get involved and be inspired.

==MoM Application and Criteria==

The LEA is looking for the best community-created art machinima in Second Life. All genres are welcome. This is a juried event, meaning that all submitted machinima will be reviewed for artistic integrity. The LEA reserves the right to refuse films without disclosing a reason. Here are the general guidelines for consideration:
* Maximum machinima length: 3 minutes. Longer entries would be accepted for special screenings that allow for longer running times.
* Wide format.
* No UI in machinima, except when functional.
* No sex or violence (unless those are set as part of the monthly theme).
* Copyrights owned.
* Content of machinima must adhere to the theme (if a theme is announced for a given event).

Interested in sharing your (or someone else’s) best machinima? [https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/lindenlab.com/viewform?formkey=dDZ3a2FsYjJMNEM5dnU4X1VZZ1FQZ1E6MQ&ifq Submit your application here]. Applications are due by the 10th of the month for consideration for the following month’s event. We can only schedule screening a limited number of machinima in any given month, so if your machinima is not selected for the next event, we will keep your machinima submission for consideration at a future event.

==LEA Code of Conduct==

In addition to the Terms of Service and the Community Standards, all participants and visitors to LEA events must agree to abide by the [https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Linden_Endowment_for_the_Arts LEA Code of Conduct].
