aviv says:
can i submit a project that has not been built? meaning planes section 3d virtualization etc?
Karen Doodeman says:
Hi Aviv. Great question. Unfortunately, the answer is No. We can only accept projects that have been installed in functioning retail stores between the dates of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009. Photos must be of the projects in the actual stores. Hopefully, your question will help others as well. Thanks for asking, and we look forward to seeing some of your installed projects in the future.
