3rd annual CGarchitect.com Architectural Visualization Competition (AVC)


This 'competition' run by CGArchitect.com has a requirement that people enter their best images now to qualify! Qualification round is April 16-21. Actual competition will be from April 23 to June 30.

To quote the site: If you are one of the select few chosen from the qualification round you will be eligible to compete in the 2 final challenges. Full details and rules for each of these challenges will be posted in the CHALLENGES section of the competition site.

Know anyone who might be up for the challenge? Pass on the link...

An odd collection of really interesting stuff. Mostly news items. Plenty of interesting links.

No suggestion as to the source. no apparent archives, No listing of the date when items were uploaded just an ambiguous time...

But, if this had an rss feed, worth watching. One is left wondering where all this interesting stuff is collected?
