Many of the over 100 Entries

This year there were over 100 entries for the photoreal competition as entries came from all over the world. Below is a sample selection of the entries. Far below is a list of the internationally recognized jurors. This Photoreal design competition and the jurrors looked both at photo realism and innovation in design for modern culture equally. You know we love those slick renderings, but it is really about innovation and communication too.
Expect to see pictures later in the week of the awards event from Chicago's Saturday November 9th Design-engine.com party. Also expect to see interviews of many of the designers so we can all learn more about them and the companies they work for.

Images are in no particular order as they are in the same order as that they were judged.
