2) Take the \u201cWhy I Relay\u201d challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fantasy Faire is part of the Relay For Life fundraising effort in Second Life<\/a> and the purpose of the “Why I Relay” challenge is for people who want to share their reasons for supporting the Relay For Life event. This is a challenge that is open to anyone, you don’t need to be a blogger.<\/p>\n

A way of sharing your reasons has been provided by\u00a0Catalina Staheli, who is taking portraits of people for the challenge.<\/p>\n

3) Give the Fantasy Faire team your choices for the King and Queen of Fantasy Faire \u2013 and for their Chancellor too!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who is your favourite character from Film, TV or literature? Would you like to see Rincewind crowned King Of Fantasy Faire? This is an equal opportunities event, so there’s also a nomination for Chancellor, who shall be a non-human character.<\/p>\n

For more details, click here<\/a>, where you will also find the simple form to submit your nominations.<\/p>\n

Please note that this is a multiple stage event, you need to have submitted your nominations via the form before Fantasy Faire opens on April 23rd. The top five in each category will then be placed inside voting kiosks at the event inside Second Life, which visitors to the Faire will vote on and the winners will be crowned at the Fantasy Faire ball between 5pm – 7pm on May 1st.<\/p>\n
