As a way of celebrating the new changes to Rally/Virtual Hollywood, we thought it would be super fun to have a community contest!

Since many of you love hanging out in these Flash spaces, we thought it would be fun to have a contest that shows us what you see when you visit Rally/Virtual Hollywood. This contest therefore is a simple screenshot contest - take a screenshot of something you see going on in Rally/Virtual Hollywood and post it in this thread with a few bits of entry information. It's pretty simple and easy to do, and if your screenshot wins, you could score an awesome prize!

Read below for contest rules, details, and prizes biggrin

Quote:

Username: siskataya
Entry #1
I like this screenshot because this other person's avatar looks perfect in the convenience store. He looks like a late night shopper at a 7-11 that has fallen asleep while looking for items in the aisle!

You can enter the contest 3 times, which is why we ask you to post the number of your entry as part of the required information.

Well! The contest is over, and as usual for the Gaia community, all the entries were amazing! Well done everyone. It was super hard to pick our winners, and in fact, we actually have a 4-Way tie for third prize so all those Gaians will win the third place "Bronze Rally Prize Pack".

Now, to the winners!


* The First Place Winner: who will receive the "Gold Rally Prize Pack" is:
im not a mango
Rally Rock Band

* We love this entry - the avatars look awesome, and remind us of local bands that play gigs in parking lots before they get famous. Also looks like everyone was having a lot of fun!


* The Second Place Winner who will receive the "Silver Rally Prize Pack" is:
Sheepity
Entry 1 - Animated Rainbow Rally Fans!

* This is amazingly well-done, and the effort that went into the project is fantastic! It's like a dancing rainbow of Rally fans. Fabulous!


* The Third Place Winners who tied will each receive the "Bronze Rally Prize Pack" are:
Cookies o v o
Entry 1 - Friendly neighborhood donating to the poor.

* This is a great use of the spaces and avatars. Reminds us of the importance of charity and giving to those less fortunate. Nicely done!

Darksp
Photobombed By A Reindeer

*This cracked us up! What a great nod to the current trend of photobombing pictures. Pesky reindeer - always ruining the shot! XD

Hi-Potion
Sheriff Rick and the Pepsi!

* This is brilliantly done, great use of the space and items, and a nice nod to our sponsors. We can imagine people trying to get into convenience stores during a zombie apocalypse and having the place be empty. The lack of other users almost makes it a bit eerie! Love how you made it work!

JSETH
This is how a gaian gets their first can of Pepsi.

* The cow on the vending machine made us laugh so much, as did the very appropriate user names and outfits in the screenshot! It's a great blend of the Rally space users and the silliness that is Gaia. Well done! biggrin

Thanks again to all who entered, and congrats to the winners! Prizes will be given out on Wednesday biggrin

Looks like fun, I'll add my entry here in a little bit :3

EDIT:

* Username: Chrystal Liena
* Entry #1

It's happened to all of us. You're thirsty and you have just enough change to get a drink out of the vending machine and then the machine goes and eats the money.

*shakes vending machine* If you're not going to give me a drink than at least GIVE ME MY MONEY BAAAAAACK scream

On a side note, it would be kind of fun if the machines shook when you clicked on them.


* Username: Chrystal Liena
* Entry #2

I thought it would be fun to relax in the pool, until I found out that there was a shark that had the same idea...

*plays Jaws music in background*
