Hippotropolis Theater Design Competition

Oz Linden is sponsoring a Design/Build Competition to create a replacement for the Hippotropolis Theater^🖈.

The goal is to create a meeting space for the Second Life Open Source Community that is functional and is a showpiece of Second Life design.

All entries remain the property of their creators: Linden Lab will purchase one copy of the winning design in exchange for the prize sum of L$TBD.

Warning: Draft Announcement - this competition is not yet open. Criteria may change and/or the whole thing may not happen at all.

Criteria

Requirements

The design must:

• Be primarily constructed as a Mesh model (prim components are allowed)
• Fit on the existing site (the current build is approximately 20m square)
• Land Impact limit of 250
• Comfortably accommodate groups of 15 to 35
• Provide for presentations using shared media

Additional Considerations

These are not absolute requirements, but are positive factors:

• Participants should be able to comfortably see one another and any presentation from the perspective of their avatar without extensive camera adjustments
• Provision for non-human avatars and avatars both above and below the normal human size range

Schedule

All dates are extremely tentative.

• Final designs must be submitted by 27 February 2012
• Submissions will be constructed in a designated area and be on view for community comment until the final judging and winner selection on 1 March 2012.
