bloggers & vloggers wanted
The SL Christmas Expo welcomes all vloggers & bloggers to participate and share the holiday magic. The holiday season is short and we want to ensure word of this festive event is spread as far as possible to all of Second Life.
We are looking for Official SL Christmas Expo V/Bloggers that truly love the Christmas / Holiday season. Who start singing Deck The Halls in November and occasionally belt out a Fa-La-La-La-La in October. The application process is about finding the right team to be our “official Expo v/bloggers”. This means mostly that this team will have exclusive access to the Merchant’s Blogger room, early access to the regions, be required to do at least 2 blog posts during the Expo, and will do their best to showcase the special magic of the Expo Regions and merchant creations. We are looking for Home & Garden, Fashion, Breedables, Kids/ Youth, and General bloggers.
We also look at things such as, does the v/blogger have ties with the American Cancer Society events in SL? Have they v/blogged for the SL Christmas Expo before? Are they able to create an experience with their words and pictures? Do their blogs include good pictures with good descriptive writing?
Your Holiday Expo v/blogging should embrace the festive feelings and magical inspirations of the holiday season.
We also love to come across that truly inspired hidden gem. We may consider v/bloggers who are just starting out if, after reviewing your v/blog, we just know you will do the Christmas Expo proud.
Due to time, we will contact only those v/bloggers who are accepted as our Official SL Christmas Expo V/Bloggers and the list will be posted below.
**Note: Completion of the application does not mean acceptance.
We will contact you after reviewing your application**
Expo runs November 29 – December 8 2024

Christmas STORIEs
We hope you will join us and once again and share your favorite Christmas stories and memories. Remember how you would wake up in the middle of the night to the sounds of crinkling paper and jingle bells, your heart pounding with exhilaration. Let your gaze linger on the glimmering lights and ornaments as if you were seeing them for the first time. Did you make snow angels? Did your family celebrate in a special way? Do you have special Christmas memories of celebrating with your children or grandchildren?

why you support the american cancer society
Almost everyone we know has been touched by cancer in one way or another. As a survivor, a caregiver, as a family member, a friend, or a coworker. The Holiday season can be an emotional time, both good and bad, for survivors and caregivers, along with their families and friends. This challenge is for those who have a personal reason to support the American Cancer Society. If you would like to share your reasons for supporting The American Cancer Society or share your story of hope, or why you support our mission to Fight Childhood Cancer, you are welcome to participate in this challenge.
Please use pictures from the SL Christmas Expo regions and/or items from the SL Christmas Expo vendors in your blog piece.
Don’t forget to post a link to your challenge post or flickr pictures below so we can share it. Remember to ping us, share your pictures on flickr and share your post on in our facebook and discord groups.
