Phase II will be graded against 3 metrics: effectiveness (measured from the 17 Cities: Skylines metrics listed), aesthetics (is it beautiful?), and innovation/creativity (how did you push the design of your city in innovative directions?).

5 screenshots (either in plan or perspective, or a combination) that show how your city is innovative.

A single 11”x17” (landscape orientation; PDF only) slide that shows your top 4 city images, with the name of your city legibly written somewhere on the slide (this will be used in the final presentation of cities during the awards ceremony).
*Note: All screenshots must be submitted as JPEGs. Any other image type files will result in disqualification.
