Judging: Entries will be judged solely on the quality of modeling. We will be looking for economy of geometry as well as smooth NURBS surfaces. Details help, but not if they are just "piling on geometry". Think carefully and choose a subject that will appropriately show off your modeling skills to the best advantage. The winning entries will be selected by a Judging Panel - The Panel's decision is final. Judges will perform independent reviews of the submissions. All members, with the exception of those on the Judging Panel, the Contest Managers and current Admins can enter.
