The deadline has been extended! 

The Retina Software contest for a realistic cityscape made in Blender is accepting submissions up to midnight July 30th, 2006. The prize is 500 big ones ($500 USD)… and maybe more. It’s important to note that the model, while being rendered in 3D, will only be used as viewing from a top-down perspective, so keep that in mind when designing. More details on the contest can be found on the company’s site.
