As its third anniversary in SL approaches, the West of Ireland charity estate is celebrating with a new design for the loaner surfboards that are provided on its surfing beaches. A texture design competition will be held to determine the new signature look of the surfboards. The winning design will receive a voucher for a fully modifiable SSi Surfboard Template donated by Sebastian Saramago of Surf Systems Inc. - a 2500L$ value. WOI features several quality surfing beaches including Bundoran Reef, Neart, and Crab Island.
Competition details and specifications are available from contest signs placed around the West of Ireland estate and at a variety of surfing-related sims whose owners are graciously supporting this effort. There is a $L300 entry fee for each submitted design. Entries will be accepted beginning February 1st, and must be submitted no later than midnight SLT February 18th to be considered. All proceeds from the contest will be donated to the real world charity Project Children.
Up to five designs will be chosen from the initial entries by a panel consisting of an artist, a representative from the WOI, and a representative from the surfing community. Designs will be chosen based on how well they meet the required WOI design specifications, originality, style, and artistic quality. The selected designs will be placed on display along the boardwalk to the west of Nancy Blake's Pub on the border of the West of Ireland and Bundoran Reef sims by February 27. The public are encouraged to view the designs, and vote for their favorite. Voting will continue until shortly before Noon on March 18th, during WOI’s Annual Festival of Saint Patrick. The winning design will be announced that afternoon during Desirae Beaumont's DJ show at Nancy Blake's, which will begin at Noon SLT. The winning design will also be posted on the blog SurfWatch and the West of Ireland’s website.

The West of Ireland is a Second Life charity estate created to support the programs of the South Texas Celtic Music Association (STCMA), a recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in the United States. Additionally, the West of Ireland has been approved by Linden Labs, the creators of Second Life, as a certified nonprofit.
The mission of the West of Ireland is to promote Irish and Celtic culture within Second Life and raise awareness of Project Children, while providing guests and community members with an entertaining and welcoming environment and to raise funds for Project Children.
Project Children is an international organization that takes children from Northern Ireland on summer trips to stay with host families in the United States. Catholic and Protestant children are brought together in a calm and multi-cultural environment in an effort to overcome the stronghold of prejudices that have burdened Northern Ireland for so long. The South Texas Celtic Music Association (STCMA) raises funds for Project Children at its annual Celtic Music Festival and through the Second Life West of Ireland charity estate to pay the transportation costs for children participating in Project Children.
