OPENSIMFEST 2022
Posted: Fri Feb 18, 2022 4:06 am
Hi Everyone!
After a year-long hiatus and two sponsorship changes, OpensimFest is back on track this year in an extended format. The main events will run for 17 days and will include 90 hours of live performances. The grid will encompass over four square kilometers of virtual land we hope will be full of creative community exhibits and merchant stores, as well as donated and sponsored content. Official opening date is Jul 8, 2022 with live events happening through July 24, 2022. While the Fest officially closes on the 25th, the OpenSim Fest grid with exhibits and shops will remain accessible until July 31, 2022 for visitors.
OpenSimFest 2020 had 600 attendees from all around the Hypergrid with 40 exhibits and 20 merchant shops. It was held on four regions with a single weekend of events. The current plan for 2022 is to roughly expand to three times that size with fifty-five 64x64m exhibitor parcels, twenty-five 64x64m merchant parcels, and ten custom exhibitor and merchant parcels for those that need a large space for display or for interactive vehicles. We will expand those numbers as needed if interest exceeds capacity and additional sponsorship is provided. All parcels will be on a first-come first-serve basis and will be made available free to the Hypergrid community with three months of access available for builds and testing.
Currently, 24 performers, 41 exhibitors, and 25 merchants have signed up on our Discord server, and there are multiple opportunities for volunteers of all kinds as well. We also have a Supporter role this year for sponsors. All sponsor proceeds will go first to offset server and licensing costs, with the full remainder to be evenly divided among the performers.
Please go here: https://discord.gg/7M6zcxyQ to join the Discord server, then go to role_selection to select a role that you are interested in. You can also find additional information here: https://www.opensimfest.com/
Here are our organizers: Shelenn Ayres of IMA as the main sponsor, Exhibitor Organizer, and Volunteer contact; Oldesoul Eldamar and Rosa Alekseev as Performer Organizers; and I am the Merchant Organizer.
If you have general questions, or would like to be a Merchant, please feel free to contact me directly either here, in world, or on the OpensimFest Discord.
