Congratulations to the 1st place winner Kathryn Retich, who created the best "ultimate space" using VividAR™ software and 3D virtual products/furnishings.

How it Worked
Attendees were invited to visit particpating exhibitor booths on the show floor and received stamps in their "passport" located in the Dwell on Design Show Directory. Once the desired stamps were received, guests checked in with VividWorks at the Tech Lounge and designed their "ultimate space"; either an indoor living space, kitchen, or outdoor space. The collected stamps ‘unlocked’ virtual 3D products/furnishings that were used in the design of their ultimate space using VividWorks' VividAR™ software. The submitted designs were judged upon show close on June 24th by a jury of Dwell Editors and three tiers of cash prizes are awarded.

Karen Stewart wins the second place prize for her modern interior space.
