Many of us have enjoyed some of the best art in SL all in one place monthly in the UWA 3D Open Art Challenge area and it's now time for the People's Choice Grand Finale. Deadline for submission is November 30, so check them all out now. Prizes listed toward the bottom of this post, but also note huge prizes just for voting. That's right great prizes for the winning artists but also for some attendees just for voting-see rules below.

I won't say what my favs are but a few that I especially enjoyed today include Fuschia Nightfire's "Sillhouettes" which I found to be an interesting concept as well as a fun exhibit to try out and "The Matter of Ideas" by Gleman Jun which also was a cool concept and fun to watch. While in my Fuschia's shadow avatar I went ahead and jumped into Nish Mip's "Turning the Tide" as it's also a piece about making a difference and I like the colors and exhibits for a picture. There is so much to see and do and I really appreciate all the artists contributions and UWA for running and sponsoring this.

Be sure to visit the UWA web site for more information. I have their site on my sidebar for a quick jump over there or direct link above. Their information note that I received from JayJay says it all best so I will just quote parts of it here:
