This year, and for the first time, the SLACTIONS Steering Committee included a day devoted to Machinima in the conference program. The SLACTIONS 2012 Machinima Festival is a Machinima competition included on the SLACTIONS 2012 Research conference on virtual worlds. The RL/SL conference will happen between 15 November 2012 and 17 November 2012. The SLACTIONS 2012 Machinima Festival and awards ceremony will be on 15 November 2012. The SLACTIONS 2012 Machinima Festival agree, approve and promote the free use of imagination. According to SLACTIONS 2012, the Machinima Festival will have a follow-up support and appreciation of work done this year as well as the Vintage category (classics from previous years).

Imagination as a concept is a well-known phenomenon whereby a person creates something new under some conditions, and can be associated with creativity. For many, it is intertwined with passion and commitment. The metaverse and machinima are innovations, but what about creativity? It lives inside you.

Imagine an Universe where everyone can make choices, live one's dream and share one's passion. For innovation to flourish, the SLACTIONS 2012 Machinima Festival created an environment for fostering creativity; bringing together multi-talented groups of people who work together in close collaboration - exchanging knowledge and ideas, and shaping the path towards the future with their present and past accomplishments and works.

By deciding to submit one's works, the path leads to this moment of the battle between a multitude of creators and the chance to share that experience with them. Hundreds of thousands of people can watch it. Why so many? Because it all happens in one universe, where what matters most is the emergent and evolving experience. Because in the Universe all artistry matters and imagination and creativity have an important impact.

Imagine being in the right place at the right time and being able to touch the lives of thousands of people, around the world.

Welcome to SLACTIONS 2012. The imagination is yours.
