If you have not paid your store fee by this date, you will not be permitted to participate in the event and your store will be given to the next person on the waiting list.

*Refunds may be given in extreme circumstances and are up to the discretion of the event organizers. HOWEVER no refunds will be given after July 31st for any reason.

***Do NOT send any booth fees until you have been accepted, upon which instructions will be given on how to pay fees.

8) You will need space for 1 group.  Only members of this group will be permitted on the sim(s) during set up times.  Only people on the application will be added to the groups, PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO BE ADDED AT A LATER TIME AS THIS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.

10) Limited script usage is ALLOWED. The only scripts allowed for this event are:  NETWORKED VENDORS, SIMPLE SPLIT SCRIPT AND GACHA SCRIPT and if the product you are SELLING requires a script for display purposes (example:  walking elephant).  Please do not place scripted subscribos, group joiners, note givers, redelivery terminals, or landmark givers in your store. These will be returned. It is possible for you to give notecards and landmarks by placing the items in a box and setting the box for sale for 0L. No hover-texts will be tolerated.

11) To help cut down on lag, we ask that all items placed in your store be set to phantom if possible.

12) Because we want the sim(s) to be open to everyone on SL, it will be PG. This means all vendors must have private parts covered and there should be no photos of anything obviously sexual in nature.

13)  Pale Girl Productions has official bloggers for the event.  We ask but do not require that you send your new releases for the event out to the official bloggers either through group notices OR personally.

14)  No copyright infringement material is allowed.  We do not allow mesh items from 3rd party sites to be released in our events regardless of item's TOS.    If found in violation of either these, your items will be immediately returned to you, with the strong possibility of also being removed completely from the event.  



**STORES AND PRICES:

Landing Point Booth - 9,000L 150 prims

Regular Booth - 3,500L  75 prims

**additional display areas - designed for animesh and (disabled scripts) breedables to be rezzed out
    each additional 50 prims - 2,500L


Stores are filled on a first come first served basis. The remainder of the stores available for the event will be scattered throughout the rest of the sim. We believe the sim design will allow for every booth to be seen very well. There are no "bad" spaces.  If we have too many applicants, you will be placed on a waiting list in the order you signed up. We will try to accommodate you as much as possible but with the number of creators that SL has, it will be difficult to make everyone happy. We do realize this and we would like to apologize in advance if you do not get the exact placement that you hoped for.

--POLICIES--

Stores that use templates are welcome to apply, but items must be modified enough to become original.  We reserve the right to deem what we consider original in how it applies to template use.  This is an event that prides itself on high quality work, and if we feel that someone doesn't meet that standard they will not be accepted or if already in the event, run the very strong possibility of removal.

No copyright infringement material that violates the TOS is allowed.  If found, you will be immediately removed from the event.


If you have any questions please contact either Kira Paderborn or Voshie Paine
