The winner will also receive a ticket – that is worth $600! – to the Trojan Horse is a Unicorn event being held in Portugal from September 17th to the 20th and a $100 Print on Demand voucher from MyMiniFactory.com. If you didn’t earn top spot, fret not! Second place will receive a $200 Print on Demand voucher.

The Trojan Horse was a Unicorn festival is one of the largest art rave events in Europe and will bring together 500 professional game designers, animation artists, VFX producers and students from around the world. The THU event will allow artists and designers to find investors for their projects, show off their resumes, or allow themselves to be headhunted by large companies scouting the event. It is a great place for, say, someone who won a free ticket by winning a 3D printing design contest to get their work noticed by the right people.
