Sculptapalooza 2 - The Winners

Hey Guys!

It's a pleasure to announce the winners of the second Sculpture contest.  Nicci Minuit and I examined every single entry and narrowed the field down to a short-list of about 30 prominent sculptures which were then presented to our esteemed and distinguished panel of judges and resident art critics.

Using the Sculpture widget the citizens of SmallWorlds have once again astounded and amazed all in SmallWorlds HQ with their innovative and imaginative creations.

SmallWorlds separated the field into separate categories for judging. The categories for Sculptapalooza 2 were: 

• Household Items
• Swuffies
• Career Items
• Vehicles

It was hard work determining the winners but we made the hard calls and have chosen the winners. It really was a difficult choice with so many fabulous designs and creations to choose from.

Grand Prize Winner (Best Sculpture Overall)

The Grand Prize Winner (Best Sculpture Overall) is Jessica Bennett the Third with her amazingly detailed double sculpture: Large Aquarium (Blue).

The detail and intricacy of this set of sculptures was truly breathtaking and to us represents the unlimited potential of the Sculpture widget. Well done Jessica, we were truly stunned by your creation.

Household Item Winner 

The Household Item prize winner is Elektra Sue for her double act High Chair and Crib. This commonplace item with a utilitarian design showcased the ability of the Sculptor widget to transcend Art as a statement and present function over beauty as an aesthetic choice. Congratulations Elektra.

 Swuffy Item Winner 

The Swuffy Item prize winner is Sore Eros for Swuffy Turtles (x4). The Swuffy category probably the hardest to represent with the soft curves and rounded lines of the Swuffy line in general. Here the hard-shelled and four legged terrapins took the prize. Congratulations Sore.

Career Item Winner  

The Career Item prize winner is Ahmad Durrah for his truly impressive multi-sculpture effort, Giant Red Barn. Using many blocks and the outdoor setting so effectively this enormous sculpture of a building shows a innovative interpretation of Career (Farming) and scale. This is truly thinking outside the box to produce a large scale and well planned piece. The judges also made mention of Ahmad's second entry of the Double Unicorn Carriage which was entered in the Vehicle category. Congratulations Ahmad.

Vehicle Item Winner  

The Vehicle Item prize winner is Noven Sandrin for his Hovering UFO. Vehicles were a hard choice for the judges, as there were many entries and they all took the theme to different places. In the end while it was a close call, the sense of whimsy and attention detail in the rounded Hovering UFO took the prize. Congratulations Noven.

SmallWorlds would like to acknowledge the many people who made the short-list this time around, but also those who did not. It was an amazing set of entries where the uniqueness and innovation on show was very impressive.  The winners were very difficult to choose.

Congratulations all.
