On November 3rd and 4th, the Blender Spotlight competition kicks off, offering a grand prize of €10,000 ($11,698) for the winner. The victor will directly advance to Phase 3, while second and third place finishers will secure positions in Phase 2. The thrilling finale is scheduled for December 13th and 14th in Paris.
