You might want to look into this contest. Unless this was done in connection with the contest last year.

It was in connection with last year's contest. We got hosed because we are Liberty. That is the only reason we could think of, because some of the winners created some crappy renderings.

You're right there. LU looks good, but the buildings are a bit off from the sat. images. Google Earth tends to do that, though -- I have placemarks that are a year old that aren't close to where they used to be.
