Panel Judges

We have partnered with design teams, architects, 3D builders, and artists to form a panel of judges. We would like to take the opportunity to thank the following partners for their participation:

 

• LandVault 

LandVault is the world’s biggest Metaverse development studio with 120 builders worldwide and 100+ Million Square feet developed in The Sandbox and Decentraland. LandVault was chosen by MasterCard, Heineken, and World of Women to build their Metaverse gaming experiences.

• Metahood 

Metahood is the marketplace for digital real estate. Discover, buy and sell lands across the largest open metaverse platforms like the Sandbox, Decentraland, the Otherside, and OVER. 

• MetaMundo 

MetaMundo operates a marketplace for primary sales of 3D imagery for use in galleries, villas, music venues, parks, avatars, vehicles and more. 3D artists, architects and designers can sell their 3D scenes and assets on MetaMundo’s marketplace, directly to users of the Metaverse.

• Pangea DAO 

Pangea DAO sits at the intersection between Web3 communities and creators, the land they build on, and the Web2 brands that seek to enter these new and untested markets. Pangea collaborates with, and supports users, architects, developers, guilds, brands, and projects producing virtual worlds and metaversal infrastructure to create value in the Metaverse.

• Parcel 

Parcel empowers people with the tools they need to find their home in the Metaverse. Born out of an industry that was scattered and lacked transparency, Parcel became the single destination for connection, commerce, and creativity, designed to unlock the full potential of virtual real estate.

• SandStorm 

Sandstorm is home to the largest community of virtual world artists and builders. Through their platform, brands that have plans of creating immersive experiences in the virtual world can find creators that can make those experiences a reality.

With experts in Voxel, Blender, and Virtual Reality, Sandstorm can create engaging gaming experiences or virtual workspaces that will change the way business is done in the Metaverse.

• Spaces DAO 

Spaces DAO is a collective of architects, artists and developers dedicated to the design of tailored experiences across the Metaverse. At the core of their design philosophy, they imagine and build the unbuildable, defying real-life limitations, yet grounded with a seamless combination of organic and futuristic experiences. Spaces DAO is pioneering new criteria for virtual architecture. This new realm allows for a multitude of possibilities and they are at the forefront of shaping it.
