Are you ready to take your art to new heights? Sierra Division invites junior to intermediate artists with 5 years or less experience to join the thrilling 3D prop challenge Himalayan Treasures from June 1st to July 10th.
Imagine you are an explorer on a quest for treasure in the vast region of the Himalayas. What artifacts would you discover?
As your objective, you'll need to create a 3D artifact that could be found in the Himalayas. This is more than a technical challenge, it's an opportunity to dive into the region's rich history and showcase your ability to combine research, your individual creativity, and storytelling skills.
Submissions will be evaluated based on a comprehensive set of criteria, including adherence to guidelines, technical proficiency, visual impact, and cultural appropriateness.
Ready for the adventure?
