What does your dream home look like? Where is it located? What is it made of? What special features does it have? Don't let reality hold back your imagination.
For this contest, you'll be creating a visual of your dream home with a written piece describing all the wonderful things about it. All art mediums are welcome: whenever it be a render, a photograph, created in Photoshop, hand drawn, painted, built out of toothpicks, made from clay, made out of food, an animated house tour or created through the use of ai.
Entries will be judged by APlusDesign. Entries will be judged based on the creativity of Dream Home image and description. No purchase necessary to participate in the contest.
Please feel free to share your work in progress as you are working on your final entry! Just make sure to clearly label which are just works in progress you are sharing versus your final contest entry as you can only enter in this contest once!
Contest Starts: March 1, 2024
Contest Ends: March 31, 2024 EOD
Prizes have been generously donated by CHMedia and are as follows:
Prize #1: 500 points (equivalent to $5 on here)
Prize #2: 300 points (equivalent to $3 on here)
Prize #3: 100 points (equivalent to $1 on here)
All entries must follow the rules below or they may be disqualified. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments and I'll try to get to it as soon as possible. I also have the right to update the rules if I made a mistake (hopefully I didn't!)
1) Only one entry per person
2) Must follow all the TOS, gallery rules, site rules, etc. Renderosity has
3) Must be your own work
4) Entry must be posted to the gallery and must not require a flag (I want everyone to be able to view this image!)
5) Entry must contain one image depicting your idea of a dream home (interior or exterior view is fine). Other secondary images can be included if you want to show process work (highly encouraged!) but your first image will be considered your final. Videos/Animations are also acceptable entries.
6) Entry must contain a brief description of how it was made
7) Entry must contain a short description explaining your dream home. Feel free to cover on special features, where it is located, who will live there and more to give us an idea of what your dream home is all about.
8) A link to your entry must be posted in the comments of the contest post in either my gallery (https://www.renderosity.com/gallery/items/3152978/dream-home-challenge) or the Challenge Arena forum board (so reply to this post) to be considered an entry. If you want to show process work for a video or animation entry, you may post two links, one to your final and one to your process work (please label clearly which is which).
9) Any medium of art is allowed as long as it follows the above rules
10) Must be artwork not posted to the gallery before March 1, 2024. (It is fine if it was created before that date, just as long as it wasn't posted on Renderosity before that date.) Must also not have been entered into any other contest on Renderosity before.
Thank you everyone! Please enter the contest and most importantly - have fun!!!! =)

OK looks like I'm first.
This was fun for me, as I have "dreamed" about this home for over 50 years. It was fun to bring it to life!

It was a tough decision with so many good entries, but I have finally determined the winners.
First Place: A Long Time Dream by DeeceyArt. A beautiful image with a rich description that is so detailed you can picture the place in your mind without even the image to go with it. (https://www.renderosity.com/gallery/items/3153020/a-long-time-dream)
Second Place: - My Dreamhouse PinkCloudSlipper V01 01 JPEG by PinkCloudSlippers. Love the idea of determining a dream home that also looks at our evolving problem of climate change. (https://www.renderosity.com/gallery/items/3154194/my-dreamhouse-pinkcloudslipper-v01-01-jpeg)
Third Place: Dream House by ladylake. A lovely view of a home interior with a detailed living in description to go with it; detailed enough you can picture yourself right in the room. (https://www.renderosity.com/gallery/items/3153353/dream-house)
I have notified CHMedia who the winners are, prizes will be given out as soon as they are able to.
I encourage everyone to view everyone’s entries as they were all very well done and beautiful dream homes indeed! A thank you to everyone who participated and a big thank you to CHMedia for providing the prizes. And finally, I’d like to thank Renderosity, its staff and the community for without them this would not be possible.
Links to all other entries are below. I’ve also included why I loved each one (which is why it was so hard to judge!):
Dream Home Challenge by DarkAngelGrafics. I loved how the focus of the dream home was on the family, not on the house itself.
(https://www.renderosity.com/gallery/items/3154159/dream-home-challenge)
dream-home-challenge by NenaLuise. I loved how the focus was on the kitchen and joys of it; how it brings people together.
(https://www.renderosity.com/gallery/items/3156818/dream-home-challenge)
Marvelous place by nemesis74s. Loved the POV of this image, showing the beautiful view of the beach and surrounding area.
(https://www.renderosity.com/gallery/items/3153197/marvelous-place)
the Home of my dreams by marini. Loved the hand drawn piece, made it very homey and personal. I also loved the detailed background of what the dream home entailed.
(https://www.renderosity.com/gallery/items/3153517/the-home-of-my-dreams)
Cozy Home by TerraMoore. I loved how this focused on the feeling a dream home creates, in this case something cozy and how the image evoked this very cozy feel.
(https://www.renderosity.com/gallery/items/3155090/cozy-home)
I plan on doing more challenges in the future, hope to see you at the next one!
