              Little of bad news, our very first and most generous sponsor Thermaltake withdraws from providing prizes this year due to the COVID situation and low attendance. We hope they will be back next year.

                  Changes to 2020 competition rules:

                  We are removing Rule #6 for our competition:

                  No sponsored projects or modders are allowed in this competition. If you were already receiving sponsorships, it means you are passed your amateur stage and recognized for your advanced modding skills.

                  Reasoning:

                  1. Attendance is not satisfactory to run the competition, so the scope is expandedto save it.
                  2. Previous years demostrated, that the quality of top (winning) builds were on par and above with many so-called sponsored builds. The premuse of that being sponsored adds advantage for modding competition proved to be wrong. You either have the talent, the determination, the imagination and the passion for computer modding or you just betting on getting free staff with little interest to modding part.
                  3. Modding cannot be sponsored. It is unique feature of participating individual by its nature.
                  4. Recency of hardware makes no diffrence for judges and not reflected in competition's scoring system.

                        Information Announcement to All Competitors.

                        Ok guys I screwed up on some of the completion dates and do to that we need to extend a couple dates.
                        If you look at the rules the Judges are now being allowed until Jan. 17th to complete their scoring of the competition, instead of the initial Jan. 10th .
                        We also pushed the Winners announcement date to Jan. 24th .

                        I apologize for this but lets just mark it up to part of the 2020 experience.
