Are you a Supermodel(er)? Show us.

Welcome to the 2008 International Model Your Campus Competition!

We’re back with another opportunity for you to show off your modeling skills -- and this time the rest of the world is included!

This Spring, you and your friends can honor your home turf and hone your 3D skills by entering Google SketchUp's 2008 International Model Your Campus Competition. Simply model your school's campus buildings in Google SketchUp, geo-reference them in Google Earth and submit them by uploading to the Google 3D Warehouse to earn lasting online glory and, for the winners, an Apple iPod Touch, a Nintendo Wii Console, and a Google t-shirt and hat.

You may enter this competition if you are a student at a higher education institution almost anywhere in the world. Please read the official rules before registering. 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!

 

 

1. Start Modeling

Choose to model some or all of the buildings on your campus. They should be modeled in SketchUp and be textured using digital photos. For tips on developing photo-textured models, view our best practices document, our tips for modeling, and a building example. You can also join our Google Competition Group to discuss issues, ideas, and solutions for modeling.

2. Submit your models by June 1, 2008

Register your team members first, then create a collection in the 3D Warehouse where you will upload your campus models. You will have a 3D Warehouse URL after creating your collection. Come back to the registration page to enter this URL. This is how we will match your team members with your models.

Registration and submission of your models must be completed by noon PST, June 1, 2008.

Google retains the right to use all models in any form desired after they have been submitted.

3. Check out the submissions and winners

All entries can be viewed in the 3D Warehouse 2008 International Model Your Campus collection. The winning entries will be chosen and announced on this site by July 15, 2008.

4. Awards

Each member of the top 3-5 teams (comprising a maximum of 30 people) will win a package that includes an Apple iPod Touch, a Nintendo Wii Console, and a Google t-shirt and hat. In addition, winners will be featured on the Official Google SketchUp Blog, and enjoy lasting online glory (not to mention making your mom darn proud).
