- prize amounts may increase if donations are received -
- donations will NOT influence judging -
- donors and judges are eligible to submit entries however they are disqualified from winning as it constitutes a material conflict of interest. - They may be awarded honorary mention but no cash prizes - judges must abstain from voting for their own contributions.
DEADLINE: Submissions are open between NOW (May 2011) through end of the day August 1st 2011 (deadline for entries is midnight PDT)
THEME : Erotica - should be tasteful; not overly graphic, gross, or in violation of laws or TOS. While Nayeli is largely involved in breeding/pregnancy roleplay and this topic is certainly appropriate for submissions it is NOT a requirement and will not weigh in the rankings of submitted entries. Dominance/Submission is also quite appropriate however please keep submissions 'tasteful'.
MAJOR RULE: The most important rule is that the machinima must either start or end in Nayeli and in the description of the posted video the term "Mama Allpa machinima contest 2011" must appear, on the website, where the video is hosted.
Be aware that the arrival spot is adjacent to the Breeding Grounds however there are many areas of Nayeli to explore offering a wide variety of options.
LENGTH: 4 - 6 minutes is recommended, but this is not a hard rule. The length has no influence on the ranking.
The "Breeding Grounds" in Nayeli holds sample pictures, as decoration along the walls.
Winners will be announced by the 30th of August 2011.

FAQ:
Why do you want the movie or the pictures to be taking place (at least partly) in Nayeli?
Because we want them made for this contest. Not some old stuff that you recycle.
Can i rezz stuff for the movie or picture contest?
Autoreturn is set to two minutes, if you need more time, talk to us, we can arrange something.
Can i participate in both disciplines, machinima and picture?
Yes.
Do i need to use a Mama Allpa HUD during the contest?
No. But in your movie description when you upload it, the sentence "Mama Allpa machinima contest" shall appear
I am an actress, an actor, do i get a prize too?
The contest jury will award the machinima as a whole and the prize will go to the creator of the machinima, to the person, that uploaded it. How you share then in the team, is not within our responsability.
Why can i not use music from the charts?
Because you do not have the copyright to do so. Copyright violations can be followed up in a most unpleasant way, and it will harm you, the creator of the movie. However, to avoid trouble, please refer to the numerous links with music sources and possible "Creative Commons" licensings, that you can use for your movie. And then you are even legal. How cool is that?
Can i submit multiple entries?
yes.
For further details, like deadline and other requirements, please refer to the contest rules. And please do not ask one of the jury members about their opinion of samples you made. The jury will decide and name the winners ,when the time has come. Not before.
Good luck all!
