The owners of a Second Life sim named Hosoi Ichiba have announced a competition to create a machinima video that best captures the spirit of their virtual world location. According to their description, "Hosoi Ichiba is an asian-themed market surrounding a meditation garden located on a traditional asian-themed island called Japan Kanto." From the look of the pictures on their blog, it's a really beautiful location.
The juried competition runs from April 15 to July 15, 2010, and features a prize of fifty thousand Lindens for the winner (somewhere around a couple hundred US dollars) plus lots of exposure on their site. They explicitly state that they are NOT looking for a commercial, but rather a machinima that makes good use of their location.
Submission process is easy but does have some instructions to follow for uploading and tagging your work. Please visit their blog for more information. If you'd like to take a peek in-world, I believe the SLURL is:
