Philadelphia, PA, 3/5/2002: Advantage3D®, has been selected as a finalist for the 2002 Ben Franklin Emerging Business Awards for its innovative new MyAdvantage3D(tm) 3-D image creation tools and website.

Advantage3D®, selected by a distinguished panel of judges from dozens of regional companies nominated this year, is one of only three finalists in the Most Innovative Product category.

For the past eight years, The Entrepreneurs' Forum of Greater Philadelphia and Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern PA have presented the awards to highlight and promote area companies in recognition of breakthrough technologies, product innovations, and management excellence. Each winning company will receive a $1,000 cash prize and will gain contacts and exposure to further the growth of their businesses.

Until the availability of MyAdvantage3D, creating and publishing 3D images had been an expensive and complex process. Using MyAdvantage3D, within Advantage3D's web site (http:// www.Advantage3D.com),  enables both consumers and professionals to easily create high-quality, interactive images using any digital camera.  These 360-degree product views and panoramas can be placed in individual auctions, classified ads, emails, and online-catalogs with point and click simplicity. 

Advantage3D® images have been shown to boost on-line sales and in-store visits by bringing the customer closer to an in-person shopping experience.

Advantage3D® partnered with Earl's Towing.com LLC (DBA Market Reader Pro™), a Microsoft Certified Partner, to deliver Advantage3D®'s proprietary technology within a web-based application. GHI Design, a Philadelphia-based design firm, provided user interface and graphic design.
