It's that time again! Active Worlds celebrates its 10th Annual Festival! Festival 2005 celebration will kick off at Festival Park in AWEC world  July 29th. The closing will be  August 5th! This year's theme is "Reflections", a fitting theme with all the recent updates in our ever changing world and looking to the past and now heading into the future. Also a nice prelude to some pretty amazing changes to come.

     Over the past ten years the Activeworlds Community has evolved from the bare bones programs of 1995, to the cutting edge program we enjoy today. We went from a single world to over 900 public and privately owned worlds. Our ability to build is made easier and more exciting with each release. Builders in Alpha World can now make their objects move and rotate… coronas make builds glow… and worlds are becoming more and more realistic. You can only imagine what the future may hold. We eagerly await features such as built in voice, and some day personalized avatars. The possibilities are endless!

   Over the past ten years the Community has grown and become something extremely unique being comprised of citizens and tourist of all ages, races, ethnic backgrounds, building abilities, lifestyles and more. It is this very uniqueness that makes Activeworlds the wonderful place it is today!  Without you, there would be no future, so we would like to honor each and every one of you, who make ActiveWorlds what it is today.

    What would a Festival be without prizes? To win a prize, you must participate in Festival Events. Each hosted event will receive 21 festival points. The host determines how these points are distributed during the event. The host will email us the scores. Points are then counted at the end of Festival and the citizens with the most festival points win neat prizes! All prizes donated by AW Inc., thank you again AWI!

The prizes this year are:

In addition each group/individual that hosts an event will be entered into a drawing... the winner will receive a P20/5 World for 3 months (without hosting) or a 2 month citizen extension!!

     Sign up for events by e-mailing us and check out in world for an event schedule and general information. If you have any additional questions, simply email us at awec@org.activeworlds.com,

    Come join in the fun! Bring your friends! Win a prize! Be a part of Festival 2005! We look forward to seeing you there as we celebrate our Diverse Activeworlds Community!
