VVOR prize for the more creative and artistic minded
Posted by Sander in Photography, VVOR, Volvo Ocean Race, tags: Photo's, Prize, Virtual, VolvoArmchair experts have sailed the same 5 legs as the real boats in the Virtual Volvo Ocean Race 2008-09. This virtual race mirrors the 37,000 nautical miles of the world’s premier ocean race and there’s a Volvo C30 up for grabs for the winner along with a number of other prizes. During the winter season in Europe I had the time to compete myself in the addicting game with my boat “sandersan”.
Prize
Upon till now all prices were only handed to top finishers. Together with Marijn Harinck, CEO of UnitedGames, we thought it would be a nice idea to have alternative prices for the more artistic or creative sailors.
Since the start of the game, boat tracks have caused huge discussion on the forum. Should you follow someone else’s (no), do they smooth out over time (yes) do they come out at weird angles from your boat sometimes (yes!) but it seems that boat tracks have become an artistic tool for some sailors.
The last leg (5), the honor of the best “track drawing” must go to aididit2 & Peace on Earth II with a combined effort to create this wonderful picture. They say: We, who made this have never met and live in separate parts of the world. We crossed paths (on LEG 4), exchanged some greetings and thoughts via boat radio and made this symbol on either side of the dateline without losing any sleep!
Can you do better? We’d love to see the results of your creative sailing. Together with United Games Sander van der Borch Photography awards the best track with an original full size photo from my gallery!
