Thinking about Halloween – and our Photocontest

Halloween is coming ...
Halloween is coming ...

What are you doing for Halloween?  Are you having a party or decorating your sim?  Perhaps you’re setting up a special Halloween store or even a ghastly ghostly sim …

Whatever you are plotting and planning, send us a picture of it.  The winning photograph will appear in our Halloween edition of Prim Perfect, and the winner whether sim, store or photographer will receive a free one-page advertisement in the issue and a special prize of a beautifully macabre animated sculpture by Julia Hathor!

So show us your spookiest side … and win a Halloween prize to remember!

Entries should be uploaded to Googles image service, Picasa, and then an email sent to primperfect@gmail.com, informing us of where they are.  Multiple entries are acceptable up to ten from any one contestant.  Editing in Photoshop is permitted however, images that have clearly been heavily re-worked are less likely to be acceptable.

Picasa is part of the free software suite that is provided by Google, so you will need a Google account.  Obtaining an account is free and relatively painless.

To access Picasa, go to your Google account home page. In the upper left corner of your browser window you’ll see a number of links to follow. If you do not already see Photos, then click more to find the Photos link. Click the link to go into Picasa.

Follow the directions to upload images to your Picasa account.  Please place the images you wish to share with us in a folder called Halloween Contest.

After you have uploaded and saved to an album, your last step is to share the album with us.  To do this, click on the album youd like to share.  In the next window youll see all the images in the album and a Share Album link on the right over the images.  Click on Share Album and enter our email address: primperfect@gmail.com.  Feel free to add a message in the box provided this is an excellent place to give us more information about the images!  When you are finished, click on Send Invitation at the bottom left of your window, and that is it.

If you have any questions about this process, feel free to contact us at primperfect@gmail.com.
