3D Printing Easter Challenge
In the old times they used a different word for April, which meant "the month of openings". Christians celebrated the resurrection of Christ during the month of openings, hence the Easter egg that symbolizes new beginnings, new life and fertility. We don't really bother finding out facts that our traditions sit on anymore, and who could blame us? Given the speed we live at and the different perspective we have on life, less and less people care about looking back to learn about the history and focus on imprinting their mark on the future. And this, we believe, is where 3D printing emerges offering a different take on new beginnings, a way to apply one's imagination, creativity and skill to contribute to shaping the future.
The Easter 3D Printing challenge is an attempt to liven up the traditional spring festival that celebrates the idea of new life using modern technologies. What comes to mind when we think about the Easter festival is family gatherings, sprouting flowers, chocolate eggs and colorful decorations. The question we want you to ponder is how 3D printing models could be used to infuse the festival with new ideas, state-of-the-art product designs and unusual knick-knacks for decorating. Let the 3D printed games begin.
The winners will receive awesome prizes: 3Doodlers by 3Doodler, Filaments by 3D Filaprint and Extrudr, 10% discount when ordering your print through i.materialise, 10% discount to shop in the store by Pirx3D, credits and promotional features by CGTrader.
Let's 3D print the old festival a new face!

Frequently Asked Questions
Please go through these questions before contacting us
Do I need to upload files or only images of my 3D design?
You need to upload files and images of your 3D design in order to participate in the challenge.
I don't want to put my entry model for sale. Do you have any suggestions?
Does earning money from your digital files sounds like a bad idea? Just try to put higher price on it, let's say 300 USD.
I don't want to loose copyrights on my model after it is sold.
There are General, Editorial and Custom licenses for you to choose under which you want to operate. Individuals or companies which bought your model can't use it for commercial purposes if it hasn't been changed. So no worries - you won't loose the copyright.
How can I participate in the challenge?
Design awesome 3D model for Easter 3D Printing Challenge and upload it to CGTrader.
What if I put the required tag on my already published 3D model on CGTrader - do you treat it as a valid entry?
No. Only 3D models uploaded in the period from the 24th of February to the 21st of April 2015 will be treated as valid entries.
Do free 3D models participate in the challenge?
Yes, absolutely. Sharing artwork is always appreciated in the community.
Can I enter with 3D models which participated in other challenges elsewhere?
Yes. There are no restrictions on publishing and selling your models elsewhere.
Do price tags play any importance when entries are being judged?
No. But do not forget that the prices are always judged by the customers.
I want to participate in the challenge so I am going to delete my already uploaded models and upload them again to meet the "publishing period" requirement. Can I do that?
No. We are tracking every deleted and uploaded model, so it is useless to drive-through our requirements of the challenge.
