The theme is totally free. You can create a video, which features your first 100
days in Second Life, or create a whole story, directing other avatars! Otherwise,
you can show us footage from your favorite sims. Or just create a sequences of wonderful
images and stream them, as a slideshow, Just remember to add your video a good soundtrack!
You can submit your entries from April, 2 until April, 29.
