Google is running a new contest to promote their new 3d software acquired Sketchup. In this new contest you are invited to build your campus in 3d in Google SketchUp, and the award stay tuned : 3 day trip to Google’s Mountain View headquarters to participate in a workshop with 3D modeling experts from Google, get free airfare and hotel, food in our world-famous cafes, and a guided tour of our incredible campus. Oh yeah, and lasting online glory! This is just for Google fans I guess.
You might register you or your team anytime between January 11 – June 1, 2007 and submit your completed models by 11:59pm PDT June 1, 2007. Winners will be choosen by a panel of industry experts, interesting initiative from Google which always focus its activity on universities, and interesting for 3D designers to get a trip in Google’s world.
This spring, you and your (presumably equally artistic) friends can honor your home turf and hone your 3D design skills by entering Google SketchUp’s Build Your Campus in 3D Competition. Simply model your school’s campus buildings in Google SketchUp, geo-reference them in Google Earth and submit them through this competition web site to earn lasting online glory and, for the winners, an all-expense-paid visit to Google.
You may enter this competition if you are a higher education student in the United States or Canada. Team up with other students, or take the project on yourself. We suggest you have a faculty advisor in order to do the best work possible. Good luck and happy sketching!
