When can we expect the winners to be announced?

Hey Vrael,

Winner will be announced around 7 - 10 days after the closing date which is this Sunday. Potentially could be earlier but the judging panel are in three different time zones (U.S, Netherlands and China) so will try to coordinate as efficiently as possible.

Thanks for the quick response! Sounds good to me, I’m sure it can be tough like that hahaha. Will there be more similar contests in the future?

Hi, So I have the same problem that Dan had, I just want to make sure that my model is moved over before the contest ends. Thanks

It shouldn’t be a problem, @mercury. @54321qwer can you confirm that?

Gfisherwils · 2015-10-26T08:32:09.000Z

I’m getting SketchUp to do one final sweep to move across the models. There’s currently 20 that need to be moved so will make sure that they are.

Thanks

So, now that the competition has ended is there a page that we should watch to see the results, or is it going to be announced just through email to the winners? Or something else lol

Hi Vrael,

We will be announcing the Winner on Talk and then linking that through our Hub mails and social media. We should hopefully have decided on our winners by the end of the week.

Thanks,

George

Sounds good!

Dan2001 · 2015-11-01T21:37:12.000Z

I am so excited to see who the winner is for the competition. How much longer do you say for the judges to make the decision of who is the winner?

Gfisherwils · 2015-11-02T09:01:46.000Z

Hi Dan2001 i’ll be looking to announce the winners in the upcoming days

I didn’t enter this contest so my my beef is not about not winning. No offense to the winner, but I wasn’t impressed with the first place winner. It’s just a bowl with and hold in it and a lid and a printed gear. The rest is electronics that was purchased and assembled. That’s what won this contest in my opinion. All the other winners made their project completely from plastic. This is about 3D printing and I feel all entries should be made entirely of plastic. Maybe in the future you can have a class that includes plastic and other electrical or mechanical devices.
