We've been covering the new Monopoly City Streets real-world game using Google Maps since it launched earlier this month. Now, a "Design Your Own Building" competition gives you a chance to create a property that could win a place in the actual game.
To enter the competition, you'll need to create your 3D building with the free 3D modeling tool Google SketchUp. Upload your design to the Google 3D Warehouse with the tag "monopolycompetition09" to be considered for the contest (full rules here).
Whether your building wins or not, it will show up with all the other entries in the Competition Collection. The three winning 3D structures will net their creators global Monopoly fame by being incorporated into the actual Monopoly City Streets game. The overall winner also takes home a Google SketchUp Pro 7 license, valued at $495.
