The spring is sprung, the grass is rezz
I wonder where de birdies izz?

How will you be welcoming Spring?

Are you having a party for St David’s or St Patrick’s Day or decorating your sim? Perhaps you’re setting up a special Spring-time store or a store for St Patrick’s Day goodies …

Whatever you’re plotting and planning, send us a picture of it.

The winning photograph will appear in the March edition of Prim Perfect, and the winner – whether sim, store or photographer – will receive a free one-page advertisement in the issue! So show us your springtime goodies … and win a Springtime prize to remember!

  • Entries should be uploaded to Google’s 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.
