CIF&D and Secrets of Gaia present:
The One Is Silver & The Other's Gold Hunt!
December 5th, 2009 through January 9th 2010.
Application Deadline November 5th, 2009!
A bit about our theme:
When deciding to do this hunt I wanted to do one that would happen during the holidays to bring people through our shops to help increase our visibility during the busy holidays when everyone is looking for beautiful gifts for their friends and family. I put out an open call for anyone interested in sharing ideas for hunt themes but got little response in the way of ones that felt right for the season. So I went looking for something that would fit the feelings of the time of year without restricting us to holiday related items. After mulling over a few ideas and surfing the web randomly I came across a girl scouts website with the old girl scout song “Make New Friends” listed as a folk song and is indeed public domain. It seemed like a beautiful sentiment for the time of year that wouldn't lock us into holiday items that would only be useful for a short time.
NOTE: Hunt is limited to 150 spots max and will be ordered in the order applications are recieved!
Hunt Guidelines and Rules:
1. Only original creators no resellers, clubs, rentals, or copyrighted materials (such as art taken from the web) if it's not your own original work then please don't apply. Obviously use of purchased textures, scripts, and sculpties is fine as those items are sold to content creators for use in their work.
2. One location per store. If you have multiple shops with different names and locations you may apply separately but as I will be limiting this hunt to 150 stops max please give others opportunity to join us. I reserve the right to limit multiple entries from the same person if we get too many applications. You may include gifts from multiple stores in one package if you wish to promote these other businesses.
3. You will receive an invitation to the hunt vendors group upon acceptance of your application; you must remain in the vendor group. I understand group slots are limited but it is important to be able to communicate with the vendors effectively and this is the best option for that.
4. Gifts may be anything you wish to create, or if you prefer an item from your stock but please no freebies repackaged. This only annoys hunters to work to find the hunt item and then open it to find only stuff they could have gotten as a freebie without hunting. I was intending to do a jewelry only hunt, however, having heard from several jewelers who also do other products I no longer intend to limit it to jewelry only so the gift can be anything you wish to.
5. You do not have to build items for the theme, themed items are always welcome but the spirit of the hunt is friendship, if you wish to do a seasonal item for the time of year you are welcome to however, my intention was to do a hunt with items that would be useful the rest of the year not just for a short time during holidays.
6. If possible including a male item or unisex item is encouraged but not required.
7. Object must be no more then 30 meters from the point at which the hunters land. If your location is in a mall or location with centralized teleporting you will need to be able to put up a sign pointing them to your store. Please check with Mall/Market/Rental managers that you can do this.
8. The hunt object may be hidden however you see fit, however, it may not be hidden so that it is enclosed fully in another object, only a tiny bit of it shows, or is otherwise nearly impossible to locate.
9. The hunt object must be set to sell contents NOT a copy (which gives the hunters a folder rather then making them have to rez a box) and will be set to L$0 and no more!
10. Your gifts must be boxed/bagged before placing them in the hunt object. The folder given to the hunter should only contain 2 items, the landmark to the next location and your gift package!
11. The Hunt sign must remain up for the duration of the hunt.
12. If your shop moves or you drop out of the hunt for any reason you must notify an organizer so that we can keep the chain from being broken which only hurts other vendors in the hunt. If possible a day's notice would help to ensure we can replace the lm in the previous box. I do understand that sometimes even the vendor does not know in advance that the location is going to be suddenly relocated or vanish.
Application Instruction:
1 Create a new notecard and name it "Silver & Gold
