Apologies for not posting this sooner!

If you haven't already heard, congratulations are in order for first place winners Randal Moss of the American Cancer Society Futuring and Innovation Center, Keith Morris, and Jerry Paffendorf for their Relay for Life public space submission created in Second Life.

The public space consisted of an elevated circular track where a 24-hour walkathon to raise funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society took place. The track also encompassed a disco, an amphitheater, a silent auction park, a small yacht club, and a colossal main stage that hosted a virtual-world beauty pageant.

The second-place winner was Infinite City 360, an “an augmented environment for entertainment, information visualization, and education” submitted by James Tunick, Miro Kirov, Houston Riley, and Bradley Leinhardt of Studio IMC.

The third-place winner was Fracture, a vision of a virtual building based on the concept of electronic “pathways”; the layout is inspired by electronic circuitry, and users of this public structure follow different pathways within the venue depending on their interest. The design was submitted by Jeffrey Palenski.

The fourth-place award went to Dev Map, a virtual reconfiguration of the Dutch Electronic Arts Festival and the urban space—Rotterdam—where the festival took place, submitted by Thomas Soetens and Kora Van den Bulcke of Workspace Unlimited.
