Congrats to all who won! but with no offence, I couldnt understand the judging... for ShadowPlay there are videos which are verrryyy basic and they won, and there were quite good videos who lost, cmn what was the criteria?? I didnt take place in Commercial but wth is that? There is a video uploaded the latest, I was sure that guy will won, the video is really cool but they didnt give him any of the prizes, cmn u just robbed him considering some of the videos that won. Alright... again Congrats to all who won! Also to Helgaiden :) Cheers man!

I am quite disappointed in the some of the winners from the wallpaper contest because it is clear that they have not put in nearly as much effort as I have, it is as if some of the winning wallpapers took five minutes to do on MS Paint. 
I followed the criteria from the terms and conditions which is based on originality, clarity of idea, use of color, and use of space. Objectively, my wallpaper clearly excelled in the criteria compared to the winners.

My personal opinion, its kind of random, it makes no sense. It looks like you just took random colorful things and slapped an EVGA logo and 1080 on it. I wouldn't put that on my desktop but as the saying goes, opinions are like edited, everybody has one and they all stink.

 
Following the criteria for judging: 
 

• Originality - the idea is original, based on themes of steampunk and futuristic fiction. The 1080 Ti is like a UFO that crashed onto the floating island. 
• Clarity of idea - there are many ideas that are formed to create the gaming atmosphere. The ideas are not clustered together, the idea is distinct in the wallpaper.
• Use of color - just because there are red, green, and blue colors in the wallpaper, doesn't mean it was put in randomly. Colors are used to grab attention and show meaning. Compared to some winners with wallpapers consisting of a single color scheme, my wallpaper uses colors effectively.
• Use of space - there are many focal points that is achieved using space.

Ok so you met the literal definition, its still random images thrown together with no cohesiveness. You have a space background, sailing ships for some reason, a floating island looking like an iceberg in space. There are so many focal points that its hard to know where to begin. Use of space doesn't mean literally outer space, you took the rules a little too literally. There is no clarity at all, ots totally random. It makes no sense. 

Other than the literal space I used, I used negative space and alignment. Sailing ships that are floating in mid-air are common in steampunk themes. Floating islands are common in futuristic fiction/video games. The main focal point is where the obvious 1080 Ti lies and everything else compliments that.

That would make sense if you picked a theme and continued with it, but using a small element of a theme then moving on to another is confusing. If you were going for steampunk stick with it, if you were going for futuristic stick with it. The 1080 is just.....there, with no reason why, gears for some reason, its chaos. Its like you just went "I'm going to put this here, and this here and this here and this here and viola!! Art!" It just doesn't work.

Just did a little more research: some consider floating islands as steampunk, and steampunk is a genre of science fiction. These two themes are not polarizing. A quick Google Image search with these keywords, "floating island steampunk" shows that my wallpaper isn't as chaotic as you describe it to be. Besides, it's fiction - it doesn't have to make sense. 
 
Whether the "art" works or not, art is subjective because it is your perception of the piece. There are plenty of art that exist without cohesive explanations. Art is meant for others to appreciate and connect with on a personal level.
