JUDGES/SPONSORS:
The sponsors that decide to join as judges will have to give their availability, or the one of a competent person of their choice, to join the three weekly evenings of the contest: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
The judges will sit down in a specific spot, during the shows on Wednesday, and will have in front of them their logo, which will be click-able and will give out a notecard with the description of their job and the landmark of their place.
People who can join as jury:
photographers
journalists
models
modeling trainers
designers
people working in the fashion field.
They will be nominated in the presentation as jury only with their name, surname and in case their brand. The joining fee of sponsors/judges is free since we will consider their work as judges corresponding to the fee due in case of sponsorship. The maximum number of judges is 20. All the votes of the judges will be public after the evening, considering the time necessary to write everything on a notecard, and will be posted on http://www.pixelook.net.
For any questions, the jury must be available for explanations on the votes given, clarifications, and these requests must be sent to Katiuscia Vollmar who will ask the judges implied.
Everything must be done with seriousness and respect, and all votes given basing on acquaintances, unclear ones, or considered not valid will not be counted, and the judge will be disqualified. These decisions will be taken by Katiuscia Vollmar after having consulted all the other judges, who anyway will only be counselors and will not be able to definitely take a decision about it.
The Jury application must be sent within January the 10th, through a notecard sent to Katiuscia Vollmar, and all the requests made after this date will not be accepted.
Designers that join as contestants can’t be in the jury, neither can their managers or their staff. The organizer of the contest will verify this, in case the applicant want to hide it, and once discovered such a thing, the person would be immediately disqualified.
3 OFFICIAL SPONSORS OF THE CONTEST:

Moreover, each photographer must pay 5000l.
2) To each agency or company interested to be nominated during the contest, they must pay 15000l. They will have a place reserved among the audience with their logo next to the seats (it will be the sponsor interest to come to the event with his/her own staff showing the tag).

4 LANDS THAT HOST THE CONTEST:
We need 4 lands that will host the various phases of the contest.
The lands needs to have some characteristics:
1) 2500 prims free to use
2) Capability to contain 100 avatars
3) At least 32000 smq big
4) staff for land’s security
If one of these characteristics is missing, the land won’t be considered as candidate to host the event. The land that wants to host a phase of the event has to give:
1 of the phases: 10.000$L
Final phase: 15.000$L
The entire event will be handled by the staff of the contest. We will need the ability to use the land and the voice on Monday and Tuesday with a space available for 40 avatars; for Wednesday we will need the ability to use the streaming also, to have voice closed in land and to have a space that can contain 100 avatars.
The application of the land must be sent within december the 15th and the payment of the fee must be sent as soon as the deal is set. In case of a large number of applications, only those considered more suitable to join the event will be considered.
Should the designer have to ask and request this of their model nicely and sweetly? It’s a preferred situation, but it doesn’t mean that the designer has to explain their every action and thought to the model on their vision for their clothing. If it gets to the point that they are outright rude- when I say rude I don’t mean just abrupt, but insultingly rude- then that is certainly taking it past an acceptable professional boundary. But having to say, “Oh will you please do this and please do that?” seems a bit much sometimes especially if that model is working for the designer. It would be akin to a business owner asking his/her manager to please hire more staff, to please do his/her work in the allotted time. Does a manager ask why they have to do their job or follow a direction by their boss? I haven’t seen that happen overmuch in my experience.
