It is the Time to Vote for Model Your Town Competition…

In today’s world we live in two kinds of world, one is real world and the other is virtual world. We want to stay in a well decorated world both in real and virtual. We want to portray the virtual world as it is in the real world. Google SketchUp along with Google Earth is the best option to fulfill the dream . You can model your building, your surroundings and your town. And to encourage this, Google has introduced a competition; a competition to model your town on Google Earth.

After the successful competition of 2010, in the year 2012 Google arranges the competition once again. This time there are thousands of participants who have submitted some "jaw-droppingly, heart-stoppingly, mind-bogglingly gorgeous" models of their respective towns. It was the toughest decision to find out the top six models but the Google team has done this difficult job and presented to us the top six finalists. They are:

• Evansville, Indiana, United States
• Getaria, Gipuzkoa, Spain
• Leominster, Herefordshire, United Kingdom
• Lowell, Massachusetts, United States
• Toruń, Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Poland
