A lot has changed since AW opened it's doors in 1995. Each year opens new technology and each year brings new surprises for the ActiveWorlds Community! So much has changed since ActiveWorlds opened its doors in 1995. The universe has changed around us growing to over 1000 worlds. Our peers imaginations have brought us fantastic creations for our fun and viewing pleasure.

This year we would like you, the Community, to help us! We want you to submit Festival Themes. We will pick one of the submissions to use for this years festival. The winner will have their choice of a P-10/5 World(hosting not included) or a 1 month citizen extension. Runner up will receive whichever prize is remaining. Please email your theme submission to awec@org.activeworlds.com. One entry per citizen. Please include your citizen name and number on your email.
