The MACHINIMA AWARD 2009 will be awarding one of the largest Prize Money ever given out in Second Life!
About the MACHINIMA AWARD 2009
The Machinima Artist Guild (M.A.G.) is an association of Second Life users who produce Animation Films (Machinimas) in virtual worlds.
Cisko Vandeverre is Initiator and Organizer of the MACHINIMA AWARD.
The best Machinima Films in 5 different categories are being sought - ART, DRAMA, FUN, LOVE, and NEWBIE.
The initial prize money of 250,000L$ has been generously underwritten with the co-operation of 5 sponsors: Dutch Exchange B.V. , SECOND INTEREST AG, theDOgroup, virtyou GmbH, and YOUin3D.com GmbH.
The competition is open to all registered members of the M.A.G.
One film submission per person is allowed. Entry fee is 2,500L$. This fee will be added to the prize money bank, meaning the more people who enter the competition, the higher the award prize money will be.
Award Prize Money will be allocated as follows:
Total Award Prize Money will be divided into fifths, with each category receiving one-fifth.
First Prize Winner within each category will receive 50% of that prize money.
Second Prize Winner will receive 30%.
Third Prize Winner will receive 20%.
The current amount of the Award Prize Money can be monitored InWorld on each of the Sponsors' SIMs, and on the MACHINIMA AWARD website:

Each film submitted for competition will first go through an online preliminary selection, which will determine the top 5 films for each category.
These 5 films will then be posted on their Sponsor SIM, and during this time (October 12, 2009 through October 16, 2009) will be available for screening and voting on by the general public.
