Contest Winners for the Best Apartment Design

May 22, 2015May 8, 2015 by cbender

3D World held a contest for The Best Apartment Design. Avatars had to purchase and place furniture and posters in their apartment. During “Lesson 20 – Open House…Meet the Neighbors” (April 30, 2015), a special guest judge, who specializes in interior design, joined us in 3D World to visit the apartments.

Some of the things the judges looked at were furniture position, lighting choices, decorations, carpeting, living room furniture, and kitchen organization. Because there were so many contestants, the judges decided to offered prizes to both the single most beautiful apartment, as well as the apartment house or brownstone that had the greatest number of beautiful apartments within.

The results are in:

The Best Apartment Design (individual) winner is Brownstone No. 5, apartment 3R. Congratulations to avatar NelsonM Spot (811Q-QHST) for your design.

See a video walkthrough of his apartment. (The password for video is the same as for the website.)

The Best Apartment Design (group) winner is Brownstone No. 4. Congratulations to avatars IreneC Coy, RashidaA Ashland, KieshelJ Kroll, GinaR Spot, and EssieN Coy (all from 811Q-QHST) for your designs.

See a video walkthrough of that building. (The password for video is the same as for the website.)

For their prize, the winners will get to choose special names for places in 3D World.

Congratulations to teacher XinglongY Hurricane.

Thank you to all the avatars who decorated and designed their apartments with care and feng shui!

Well, it may be no UltraMega Supermarket, but Lynnda’s Grocery has “ultra mega” charm. Some new features of the store include aisle signs, paper goods, hygiene products, and a produce section. Stop by off the corner of 6th Avenue and E 86th Street.

The Contest for Naming Rights has two categories: The Best-Dressed Team and The Apartment Design.

The Best Dressed Team Category: Every student in the class must have a customized avatar (no grey striped shirts and jeans/ no pink polka dot dresses). The teacher will take a class photo, which will be a screen shot of the avatars in some scenic location in 3D World. A special guest judge will be selected to pick the best photograph.

The Apartment Design Category: Every pair of roommates will have to purchase and place furniture and posters in their apartment. During “Lesson 20 – Open House…Meet the Neighbors” (April 30, 2015), a special guest judge, who specializes in interior design, will join us in 3D World to visit the apartments. The judge will decide which apartment wins the award for the best design.

The class that wins in each category will get to choose a name for a special place in 3D World.
