Two years ago we at CGTrader challenged ourselves to create a vibrant, alive, and fair 3D model marketplace. Next month we are celebrating our birthday. The best present for us would be your challenge to participate in 3D Model Competition.

We know you are highly creative, so there is no point in hiding your 3D models. If you have not made your mind up about selling your models worldwide yet - this challenge is an opportunity to try it out! Let your fantasy come true. A participation is only possible if you follow these rules:

Rule number 1: you are a fanatical 3D model designer.
Rule number 2: follow rule number 1.

All you have to do is: a) choose the best 3D models of yours; b) upload your 3D models to CGTrader website from the 13th of February to the 15th of March - and you are automatically participating in the 3D Model Competition. Prizes will definitely warm you up.

FAQ

I have already published some of my 3D models on CGTrader platform. Do they count as entries into the challenge?

No. Only 3D models uploaded in a period from 13th of February to 15th of March will be treated as valid entries.

How will you judge entries for the Best 3D Stock Seller award? What is more important: the quantity or the quality of the uploaded 3D models?

Both factors are highly important. For example, an author who submits a huge library of 3D models will have more chances to win. But every of uploaded model must be high quality. Only exceptional models can win.

Do free 3D models participate in the challenge?

Yes, indeed. Sharing artwork is always appreciated in the community.

Could I publish textures, tutorials, scripts or other computer graphics assets?

No. The competition is open for 3D models only.

Could I upload unfinished 3D models of mine (e.g. the back side does not contain any details)?

Yes, but you must inform about that in the description of the product. The competition is open to the models that are redy to be sold.

Can I sell my 3D models which participated in a challenge for the other marketplaces as well?

Yes. There are no restrictions on publishing and selling your models elsewhere.

Do the price tags play any importance when entries are being judged?

No. But do not forget that the prices are always judged by customers.
