PEER spaces are the most visible shops in the SOS, right at the landing points and at least 30x30 meters. Only 12 available and wow do they go fast! PEER spaces are juried (chosen by committee) You will be informed via notice if you are accepted to PEER level, Likely after Jan 1. If you are not selected to this level you will be given the chance to select a different size. To be considered for PEER Level we look for stores that demonstrate a desire to make good use of the space and/or generous prim limit. Build size approx 30x30 You will receive your shell when you are accepted. Timely set up, and attention to advertising in your groups are among other factors we consider. In short, PEER Designers bring it. ;) REQUIRED: 10,000L Donation (NON-REFUNDABLE) Due July 1, 2025. Sorry, no exceptions.

After applicable Linden Lab exchange fees have been paid, the remainder goes to the general fund of the MSF/Doctors Without Borders. Though our name is “The Spoonful of Sugar Festival”, no items created for resale may be taken from the movie, Mary Poppins as it is still under copyright by Disney. Please keep this in mind when creating for this event. The use of MSF/Doctors Without Borders Logo is by permission from MSF for informational purposes only and may not be used on any created item for resale or use even for the benefit of MSF/Doctors Without Borders. This includes but is not limited to costumes for performances, clothing or tattoos, toys, objects or builds. The Spoonful OF Sugar is a PG event - all content must comply. We ask all content you show be tastefully represented and we reserve the right to ask you to remove or change content based on SOS requirements for a PG rating of this event. For a refresher of these requirements please see the following link. https://community.secondlife.com/knowledgebase/english/maturity-ratings-r52/ No Business in a Box or otherwise franchised or resold (gacha) items. Items determined by Linden Labs to be botted, copied or violating copyright by a designer shall be returned if and when a DMCA is effected against them. Note: The SOS Team cannot take the responsibility to remove any items until ordered to do so by Linden Labs. We can not mediate disputes between creators or participants for any reason unless deemed necessary for the good of the Spoonful Of Sugar Festival and at its discretion. Note: This may well mean both parties involved will be asked to leave in the interest of the event. MINIMIZING LAG We realize every event does this differently. Handling lag comes down to a series of tradeoffs. These are the areas we chose to minimize lag with. Your cooperation is appreciated! We do not mind your 1024 textures if you need them to convey detail. However, textures that have an alpha layer in them but do not require one cause lag. So do unnecessary materials. In whatever program you use to art, please "flatten" or remove the alpha layer from any texture it is not required in. In other words, unless it is something your work truly depends upon to be seen, don’t use it. No hover text on any items including breedables. Movement should be OFF in most cases, though again we realize with ani-mesh etc to make those critters really look awesome movement on one or two might be necessary. Just don’t go crazy. No scripted display items, no detectors of ANY kind, traffic or otherwise. Items which ‘greet’ people with spammed messages or blue screens will not be allowed. VENDORS We will provide vendors for all MSF proceeds. These will be checked prior to the start of the event. Then, they will be checked again. You may not alter, alpha or attach the SOS vendors to anything. Resizing within reason is allowed as long as the vendor is still plainly visible, flat, and is the sole means of purchase. We ask you to put your vendors on full brightness for the best showing of your work . Please confine all items to the space you are given. You may not decorate or change the outside of your store. Any and all items not in compliance with the above may be returned at the Sim owner’s discretion without prior consent or any liability due to loss of any kind to SOS Festival or MSF/Doctors Without Borders. Failure to comply with these rules will result in your being removed from the SOS. ALL DONATIONS are NON-REFUNDABLE Please read all additional rules given to you in your merchants pack regarding time/build constraints and more. Don’t be late, and no whining.
