The D2 Challenge is a creative contest organized as part of the annual D2 Conferences – a major event for the global architectural visualization (archviz) and digital design community. Participants are given specific creative briefs or themes (often with provided assets) and invited to produce visual work (typically CGI images or animations) that responds to the challenge.
