Pinup2014: Announces Competition Winners

On behalf of the competition organizers, collaborators and supporters, the Morpholio Project congratulates the Pinup2014 Winners, Honor Awards and Honorable Mentions. ""The breadth and quality of the entrants was truly inspiring, making it very difficult to pick the winners, or to put it better, not pick more to be winners." said Duann Scott, Designer Evangelist at Shapeways. " Sensitive and innovative in its exploration of new ways for design to engage the environment at large" Said Rafi Segal, Associate Professor at MIT and "dramatic results" said David Basulto, Editor-in-Chief at ArchDaily.

Pinup2014 was assembled as a means to publicly promote the research, exploration and investigation currently happening amongst today's emerging talent. "They're able to think outside the box in a way that shows true imagination and ingenuity" Said Caroline Williamson, Managing Editor at Design Milk. Amy Azzarito, Managing Editor at Design*Sponge said "I was impressed by the number of entrants who chose to devote their time and creative energy toward addressing social problems on a global scale, demonstrating an empathetic understanding that as the world grows increasingly smaller, the problems of our neighbors are problems for which we all bear responsibility." All of the submissions exemplified outstanding work and the competition organizers are grateful for the enormous amount of entrants who were bold enough to confront the world with their voice. "Super relevant!" said Jeremy Alain Siegel of BIG NYC. This year, with special thanks to the support of Shapeways, Pinup2014 is also announcing Shapes Future Awards winners for explorations in 3d printing. "Truly inspiring" said Duann Scott, Designer Evangelist at Shapeways.

Judging

All winning entrants will receive the title of Competition Winner(s) and will be featured on ArchDaily as well as in a public press release.

Judging
Finalists: A group of finalists will be selected by public viewing called "EyeTime" which captures and records the amount and type of viewing time an image receives. For every second an image or a collection is viewed by others the entrant will accumulate various types of Competition "EyeTme." In addition, the competition organizers will select a minimum of four additional finalists.

Winners: For each category there will be a winner(s) selected from the finalists by the guest Jury as well as a winner(s) selected by public "EyeTime."

Shapes Future Award: Each year the competition highlights one unique category for special recognition. This year Pinup2014 will give a separate recognition to the projects that explore excellence in 3d Printing amongst today’s young talent.

Please note:

1. Entrants are permitted and encouraged to Facebook, Tweet, email and post their entry to as many people as they want to help generate "EyeTime".
2. Finalists will be selected on a complex formula of special competition "EyeTime" data. Including but not limited to viewing, hits, zooms and more.
3. Self "EyeTime" will not count and excessive viewing time from a single source will be automatically flagged, limited and evaluated.
4. The EyeTime number you see reflects the full EyeTime for that image, it will NOT reflect the official competition EyeTime which takes into account select time periods as well as several other competition factors noted above.
