3 months in the making and it's finally here! I'm happy to announce Shapeways 3D printed Miniature Houses ContestDetails:
3D printing is the perfect tool for creating unique pieces for your miniature house or display. Show off what you've made with Shapeways and enter for a chance to win printing credit. Submit a picture of your miniature house or roombox display decked out with furniture and decor items 3D printed by Shapeways - either your own original designs or the many miniatures for sale on Shapeways. In the description be sure to tell us which items are 3D printed and how you finished them.
All participants will receive a code for 10% off an order with Shapeways after the contest has ended. Contest ends April 10, 2015.
Judging based on the following criteria:
Creativity: How do you create an inviting, original, miniature environment incorporating 3D printing?
Craftsmanship and quality: How well is the display put together and your vision realized?
Detail: What surprising, original details do you include that delight viewers?
How to Enter:
1. Start with any miniature space
Use a dollhouse, storage box, build a foam core structure, anything you can come up to make a miniature room.

3. Decorate your room

This contest sounds Very Exciting! It will be so interesting to see what people are able to 3 D print, and how they incorporate them into their minis. All the best to everyone who enters! :))
