Dezeen promotion: metaverse platform Mona has launched Renaissance, a digital competition calling for designers, architects and artists to create new virtual worlds.
The competition tasks entrants with building their own metaverse focused around one or more of three themes: spaces to gather, spaces to display and spaces to perform.
Previous virtual worlds uploaded to Mona's 3D NFT art gallery include a Greco-Roman-themed pavilion in the clouds and a Blade Runner-style neon city.

Mona hopes the event will prompt more designers to create interactive and social 3D environments for the metaverse, an emerging digital universe that exists in parallel to the real world. "Humanity may soon spend more time in virtual worlds than in the physical world," said Matt Hoerl, COO and co-founder of Mona. "It is important that these virtual spaces are beautiful and habitable for all."
