Hello!
Not really a contest, actually more of an opportunity.

Announcing:
A way to raise money for Habitat for Humanity,
......and get yourself a great 3D rendering program.
From now until December 15th, I will gather support from rendering software vendors, at the end of the RenderFest on December 15th, we will place the software packages in a special silent donational event. The proceeds from the event will benefit the Habitat for Humanity - 100%.
To qualify yourself for the event we ask that you email us ahead of the bidding so that we can send you full details of how to bid, the payment details, etc.
Send it along with your Name and email address to: ArchiCAD@cox.net - That is all there is to it.
Once you do that you are qualified to become a silent donator. When we announce it in Dec. you will be able to email us your best offer in US dollars for the software packages of your choice. If your donation is the highest in its category, you will be awarded the license for the product and the software company will ship it out to you.
In order to qualify to bid on the software, you must send in a registration email to ArchiCAD@cox.net by November 30th.
If we do not receive more than 50 registered bidders by November 30th, the auction event will be cancelled. A lot of work has been done to create this event and the software companies that so generously donated their software deserve proper involvement from the community.
Tell a friend to join in on the fund raiser, bids are expected to be in the hundreds of dollars for software worth thousands. If you ever wanted a chance to get yourself a great 3D software package at a tremendous discount, here is your chance.
REPEAT: YOU MUST EMAIL REGISTRATION IN BY NOVEMBER 30th
