RESULTS 2021
JURY ANNOUNCEMENT
The 2021 ImmersiveUnity Sustainable Development Goals VR & AR Contest has now been concluded by the selection of winners. It is evident to us that this contest season was impacted by the terrible Covid pandemic. We want to express our sympathies for all those affected by the pandemic, and we hope for a brighter and safer future for the whole World.
The administrators of the contest have again noted that the participants apparently often do not study the rules and guidelines of the contest categories sufficiently. To follow the rules and guidelines and submit a project that adheres to the theme of the contest category is essential; failure to do so will in most cases result in disqualification.
Due to mentioned factors, the jury has, in line with the Terms and Conditions of the contest, decided the following regarding the separate contest categories:
1. VR VIDEO
None of the submitted VR videos stated a clear Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) nor did they present content with a self-evident SDG-themed focus. Therefore, no winner is selected.
2. AR APPLICATION – SDG
No SDG-themed, downloadable, and installable app, which met the rules and guidelines was submitted. Therefore, no winner is selected.
3. NATURE EXPERIENCE
In this category, the jury selected two submissions, which fulfilled all criteria for placing in the contest. Please see announcement below.

The jury wishes to thank all participants. It has been fascinating to experience the submissions. We wish all the creative participants the best of luck with their future projects!
