I’d like to proudly introduce the L PRIZE.
The L PRIZE is a new and exciting open competition that will be officially
launched at SIGGRAPH 2004 by an independent team led by Tim Courtney. The
purpose of the L PRIZE is to reach both the established LDraw community and the
broader 3D software developer and user communities, and to draw on this greatly
expanded pool of resources to build a unique convergence of interests and
abilities that will result in significant advances to LEGO CAD technologies.
The L PRIZE will foster advances in LEGO CAD technologies by stimulating
competition and bringing the contestants and the user communities together.
Users and developers will be able to converse with contestants, providing them
direction, wish lists, and advice that they can apply to their contest entries;
thus increasing the overall value and impact of the end result.
Pre-Launch and Launch
The L PRIZE is in the “pre-launch” phase. We are presenting the contest to the
core LEGO community to gather support in the form of volunteers, sponsors, and
donations. The L PRIZE will launch to the public, complete with a media
campaign at or around August 8th, in conjunction with
SIGGRAPH 2004 in Los Angeles.
Call for Volunteers
The L PRIZE needs the help of a few dedicated volunteers. We have outlined some
key tasks that need to be done on the site here:
http://www.lprize.com/help.html. No long-term commitment is necessary to help
out, you may do as much or as little as you like. Please email contribute at
lprize dot com if you are interested in helping out.
Call for Sponsors
The L PRIZE depends on the assistance of corporate sponsors for its prize
packages and logistical expenses. If you are interested in sponsoring the L
PRIZE with your product or service, or if you know someone who may be
interested, please contact sponsorships at lprize dot com with details.
Call for Donations
The L PRIZE will need funds to support expenses around the launch in August, and
the conclusion of the contest in February 2005. Leading up to each event, the L
PRIZE will post a graph showing how much money has been raised towards its
goals. If you can’t get involved any other way, but would like to help out,
please consider making a cash donation to the L PRIZE. To learn details about
making a donation, please contact donations at lprize dot com.
Thank you for your support!
Tim Courtney
