Congratulations to both. Vladimir is now eligible to win the 02 WEBFORCE Workstation being given to the overall Editor's Choice winner. Anyway, here's a look at next week's contestants: * Frosty Run Amuck -- An entertaining animation that answers the question at to what kind of magic was in "that old top hat they found." * Coral Reef -- An intricately detailed view of a section of the John Pennekamp Coral Reef in the Florida Keys. Don't miss the Moray Cam! * Virtual Somnath -- A representation of one of the 360 ancient shrines of the Somnath Temple complex in India. * Polygon Playground -- Enjoy the circus act, ride the rides, and hang around until nightfall and watch the fireworks. Plenty to explore. * Color One -- A challenging 3D puzzle which should keep you busy for a while. Remember to vote for your favorite world for the "People's Choice" award and you can have a chance at the Maximum DVD Kit or a Fire GL 1000 graphics accelerator from Diamond Multimedia. There are only a few weeks left so vote early and often (you can vote once a day, every day to increase your chances).
