Presentation
Twilight Gallery, Twilight Magazine, and Koinup are proud to announce the
Lifestyles Photo Contest.
In a real world full of constrictions and constraints, both physical and mental,
Second Life allows us an area to live out our dreams and show that side we
always held secret.
In this diverse second reality, second life, there are so many different
lifestyles. From the arts, to nightclubs, to anything possible. Try and show one
or several lifestyles found in our universe in a creative photograph.
Winners will be placed in Twilight Gallery's opening on August 9th. Bound
to be an amazing event with lots of the art community there as the Gallery will
be on a brand new sim, with a whole new build.
The winners will also have an article written about them in the November 1st
edition of Twilight Magazine.
The time delay on the Magazine is due to its delivery 4 times a year.
