Like last year you can appeal the AWI score if you were not rewarded with V4 rights. Simply send an e-mail to tom@activeworlds.com with a brief explanation about your build and anything you think we may have missed. We will re-evaluate and re-grade any plots who's builder appeals to ensure we didn't miss something the first time through.

To claim your prize or V4 rights simply e-mail tom@activeworlds.com from the e-mail address currently assigned to your Citizenship.

Congratulations to everyone!!!
All of us at AWI look forward to the next "Extreme Builder Talent Show"
