Jayjay Zifanwe of the University of Western Australia announced the winners today. Their UWA web site (see blog roll to the right) stated, "The year-long University of Western Australia (UWA) 3D Open Art Challenge, with its $4,000 USD (L$1,400,000) prize pool, has attracted 858 entries by artists from 24 nations around the globe, with every continent but Antarctica being represented. The companion MachinimUWA IV: Art of the Artists, with entries relating to the artworks that have formed part of the UWA 3D Open Art Challenge, has seen 83 machinimas submitted by artists." The winners were announced today in the 200-seat UWA-BOSL Grand Amphitheatre.
Following JayJay's opening remarks the large crowd was treated to a colorful dance display by Laurina Hawks and The Phoenix Embers Showcats (see photos below)
Yes there were a few sim crashes as was to be expected with a crowd this size, but everyone seemed to recover well and it was a nice ending to a long and pleasurable art exhibit and challenge with huge rewards.
