New Babbage - Great Exhibition Designer Call

Feb 8th Note - Hi folks!  All of the booths for The Great Exhibition are now in the process of being reserved for the designers who have signed up.  We are currently fully booked.  However, there is always the possibility of last-minute cancellations due to RL.  If you want to be on the reserve list, please go ahead and fill out the form


The Hyde Park (or Crystal Palace) Great Exhibition took place in London's Hyde Park in 1851.  The entire exhibition was housed inside what was essentially a glass and iron palace which was large enough and tall enough to actually be built around and over some of the tree's in Hyde Park.

The City-State of New Babbage Great Exhibition will be the Second Life counterpart to the original Exhibition held over a century ago.  With the late Victorian and steampunk theme of New Babbage, and the grassland sims of the north of the city laying empty (because hey, its grasslands) it makes for the perfect setting.

The Palace itself will be split into two halves.  One half for "Present Day" which, in the timeline of New Babbage will be the Victorian age.  This half of the palace will be dedicated to all things, Steampunk, Victorian and before.

The second half will be the "Future Inventions" wing, which will open up this exhibit to anything that's outside the realm of Steampunk and Victorian which means, yes, even SciFi can get involved with this one!

The event will take place from March 1st to April 1st of 2020

This is an invitation to creators and designers and bloggers to take part in a new idea running in conjunction with New Babbage's Oiling Festival.

Great Exhibition Video Introduction
Booth Guidelines & Prices

1: You will be able to build out your own booth, I would suggest however to keep it to a Steampunk or a Victorian theme for the booth build if you can (think wood and brass) even if you are displaying in the "Future Inventions" wing.  The Exhibition is taking place in New Babbage which is set in the 1880's.  If you can't build your own booth, not to worry, there will be a standard booth available to use.

2: You must have a single "Showpiece" exhibit, preferably on a stand, in your booth, it's the "Great Exhibition" and is more leaning towards showing off the latest and greatest creations with the intent of the showpiece of attracting people to your vendor.  The "Showpiece" will also be an event exclusive, however, you can sell it in your own store after the Exhibition has closed.  The "Showpiece" item will be front and centre at your booth area and marked (via a sign for instance) that its your Event Showpiece, in other words, it will be your showcase piece to attract attention, this was the whole idea of the original Great Exhibition, it was first and foremost a "Showcase" event, with the shops being secondary.

3: A max of one gatcha per booth as this is not a gatcha event.

4: Special guideline for sponsor booths in the Central Lobby - You basically have no height restriction apart from the height of the roof...the central lobby booths would be perfect to showcase a flying item.

5: Designer set up deadline will be by Feb 28th at 12 noon with set up week starting on Saturday the 22nd.  This will be a blog/vlog covered event and org's like Seraphim will be around on build week to take pictures of the event and booths on the deadline date, so you MUST make sure your booth (and the exclusive event item) is placed out by that point in time.  Also, this February is a leap year, so Feb the 29th (the extra day) will be used by myself and event staff for a quick look around the building and booths before the main opening the day after.

6: The item{s} you exhibit and sell MUST be you, or your brand's creation.

7: No adult items on display (its an M rated region)

8: No auto give landmark or notecard givers please, touch-based only givers and chatters.

9: The event will be taking place on the ground level of a 12 region city.  For build week (Feb 22nd to Feb 28th) the sim will be locked to group access only to avoid people wandering around while you are building.

For Bloggers, Vloggers and the SL Media
The central lobby will have a raised event platform with seating and chill-out areas.  Blogger and Vloggers along with the general SL media are welcome to put up a small info placard (no auto givers or local chat scripts...touch ONLY) with information on you, your site and what you do and it will be free.  We do ask a couple of things though.

1: You post news about the event as more news comes in!  (an invite to the event news group will be sent)
2: Your blog must have regular blog entries posted, I won't be accepting someone who blogs once or twice a month.

If you are a blogger, vlogger or represent the SL media and want a space for an info placard, contact me directly inworld... Victor1st Mornington or email me at vic@thisislandsl.com
