Meshy Award - Contest Closed to New Entries

Share your grids with the people who will appreciate them

Here at Pointwise we appreciate the beauty and intricacies of a masterfully designed mesh. We understand the blood, sweat and tears it takes to create such a masterpiece. At the Pointwise User Group Meeting 2011, we intend to honor one grid with the coveted Meshy Award. The winning grid will be the featured work of art on a T-shirt to be distributed at the user group meeting. Everyone will want one!

Meshes will be judged on visual appeal, originality, and uniqueness.
