Renovi Partners with Aftermath Islands to Launch its First-ever Metaverse and NFT Buildathon for Designers and Creators

Renovi, the first NFT marketplace created for architects and designers, has partnered with Aftermath Islands Metaverse to launch the Metaverse’s first-ever buildathon.

As part of the ‘Next Top Metaverse Build’ competition, students, professionals and Metaverse enthusiasts will have the opportunity to win a suite of prizes across various categories including $50,000 USD in virtual land parcels, strong boxes (in-game tokens), gift cards, the ability to sell their creations as NFTs in collaboration with Aftermath Islands and more.

The competition will challenge entrants to design either 3D buildings, wearables or furniture with categories including houses, retail spaces, clubhouses/venues, interiors and wearables for avatars.

Aftermath Islands is one of the first Metaverse platforms using GPU cloud serving and Pixel Streaming technology that provides users with highly realistic graphics and experiences on almost any device, with no downloads. Buildathon entrants will be able to create and design in the program of their choice and export to a format compatible with Unreal Engine 5 – encouraging creators to develop designs that are similar to high-quality gaming.

The competition is open for entries until 9 January 2023 at 5pm GMT, after which time the winners will be chosen by the judges.

Entrants simply need to register at topmetaversebuild.com and submit their work on Renovi’s marketplace along with any accompanying documentation on Discord.

Judges will include Aftermath Islands’ Head of Technology, Gaming and Production, Rob Cole and Managing Director, David Lucatch; Renovi co-founder Adonis Zachariades; Hetal Patel from the Metaverse Group, and president of VRchitect Cherie Bowker, with more to be announced.

The very first Next Top Metaverse Buildathon took place earlier this year and saw 250 creators submit more than 160 entries, with $200,000 in prizes distributed to date.
