Remember you DON'T have to do the bonus round, and that with the head and body shots the white/neutral background always Applies.

As it turns out we need 2 more contestants.. 6 more hours to go.

[Expect a 1 -2 day wait for the scores because of the time difference and all]

If we don't get the 2 contestants in the next six hours, will the contest close??? O_O

I'm going to start mine as soon as i get back from school

Nope it will not >.< I refuse

What do you mean with .... --> 1 Body shot ("" '' ) ???

about the neutral background....does it mean white ? or could be any solid colored-background ?


sorry if I'm asking too many questions...it's my first contest here

Same here. What's the difference between body shot and free shot, actually?

Bodyshot = Picture of the sims' whole body. From head to toe.

Freeshot = Can even be half the head. Whatever you want, that suits the round's theme A sim playing guitar, dancing.. sitting in a nice landscape etc.

Well said Malfoya... And I'm sure I made it perfectly clear that all shots except free shots were ment to be in neutral colours, white ect. But sorry for the confusion :D

ROUND 2: CULTURE

Write about your experiences of your country and what you love:

Though I don't live in China anymore, I have been taught and raised with Chinese culture and values, and it is now a part of me. Chinese culture is a unique mixture of traditional Chinese culture and modern influences. So even though some traditional aspects such as sexism, and Confucian education have been altered by these influences, others such as the discipline, family structure and obedience to the state are preserved. Colour also plays a significant role in Chinese culture. I remember that in my younger years, my mom would always decorate the house red and force the whole family to wear red during Chinese new Years and other happy occasions as red is a symbol of happiness, good luck and prosperity.
Though there are lots of good things in China, traditional arts had always been my favorite. I may not be a brilliant artist nor art critic, but it elates me to see a nicely written calligraphy or painting. It also gives me an ecstasy when I play my Guqin, erhu or just hearing the sound of those instruments.

Feelings about the photo shoot:
Getting shots that reflect my Chinese culture is difficult as I don't live in China anymore. I have to find places which have a Chinese atmosphere. I decided to use my own house, as I had used Chinese-style furnishings for both interior and exterior anyway.
I also had to dye my hair black to match the pictures. China isn't well-known for its blondes or brunettes... unfortunately.

Heck. I don't know what is wrong with my Screencaps software. The pictures' a mess. But I hope picture quality don't affect the scoring?

Name: Kiko Castello
Age: 21
Birthplace: Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.
Culture: Native American Japanese
A Short Biography:
Well, hi there, heh. I am Kiko! I was born in Baltimore, and spent most of my life there living with my grandfather. My parents and older sister, Satsu did a lot of travelling, but I liked staying with Grampa most of the time. When I was about fifteen, we moved to a more rural part of the state, and I became very in touch with my Native American background. (I'm a quarter 'Indian' and Italian from my dad's side, and Russian/Japanese from my mom!) In school, I never really fit in. People thought I was some kind of freak, I guess. I sure felt like one! But, my grandfather was always there for me. He told me every day that I was beautiful, and he'd never let my morning be gloomy.
When I was eighteen, he urged me to audition for America's Next Top Model. A week after I had made the casting call, my grandfather passed away. On their way to the funeral, my parents and sister got in a car crash. Times were dark. My mother came out a paraplegic, and my father did not come out at all. My sister, however, managed to make it through with no life-altering injuries. (Thank goodness for a back seat!)
For two years, I sat, having given up on the world and everything in it. One day, my sister came up to me, dragged me out of bed, and took me to an art show. All around us were the lovliest of pictures, and the most fascinating people! It was there that I met the man sure to be my soulmate - Nathan Hanover.
With the support of Nathan and Satsu, I was able to get back on my feet and pursue my dreams again! Hahaha, it sounds really clique, but I totally mean every word!!!

Why do you want to be Miss World?
I want to be Miss World to show people everywhere that, no matter your background, your history, or even your unconventional looks, you are beautiful. Being yourself is the real beauty in life, and being true to your heart. (There I go with the cliques, again!) It's so sad to see some of the most wonderful people have their hearts broken because they don't think that they're good enough!!! I'm here to show them that they are! That there is diversity in this world, and it is fantastical!

Beautiful entry <3
About to get started on mine *starts unzipping custom content* :D

Let me know if anyone else is doing up an entry but is a bit behind, otherwise applications are closed. YAY

And Make sure you put your round 2 and bonus round 2 in the same post. Otherwise it gets far too confusing.

>< I only have one picture salvaged from my 4 hour photoshoot today, my screencap software stopped working and then the sims didn't respond... and then I didn't save so I lost my lot :P

ARGARISS MAUGÁ: ROUND 2

CULTURE


Write about your experiences of your country and what you love:
Since I was born and raised in the beautiful Italian city of Milan, I have grown up with so much Italian history and culture everywhere. Most people might know Italy for our foods, cars, architecture and our great Roman history but for the people ourselves there is so much more. Ever since I was a young child I have always been brought up in a cultured family. The world knows Milan for its glamorous fashion but our family knew it for its rich culture. Every year my parents, sister and I would take the train to the city square where the beautiful carnivale parade festival would be held. We would wear masks, dress up and dance in the ballroom. We would have traditional gelato and margarita pizza after then sit and watch the fireworks. We would take trips to Venice and ride on the gondola and fish with the old nonos on the stone bridge. Italian Vulture is so rich and beautiful; I love our art, ancient and modern history. I believe that no matter what country I may move to I will never forget my heritage and my home place- my Italiá!


Feelings about the photo shoot

For the photo shoot, Pablo and I decided to go with Venice as it is such a well known city for its cultural beauty. However we wanted to incorporate more into it such as modern fashion and other Italian cultural aspects. With that we chose a beautiful Italian designer dress and jewellery instead of something older. We added our iconic red wine and fruits to show some more of our modern culture but we chose to take the picture in old Venice. I think the pictures came out beautifully, the surroundings and weather made it the perfect shots. For the head and body shot I shoes to wear a Milan style dress and shoes to incorporate my home city. I think I did well!
