We encouraged everyone who attended our training and practice sessions to pick a building or scene and have a go at 3D modelling with SketchUp. Some of those became the entrants to the Competition. We expected lots of people to upload one model each Instead, a few keen individuals produced a first model with great care and some of those went on to upload many models each.
Here is the list of prizewinners, in the order in which they were presented by our compere, Lee Boswell, Town Centre Manager for Letchworth. CONGRATULATIONS to each winner and to everyone who helped make this project a success!:
