Any idea how long a reply from iwon@evga.com?
dude its the first day, with probably dozens of people reaching out all at once, have some patience. It will be as long as it takes for them to verify all the winners and the information they need to send it to you.

Ah alright sorry, I'm just too ecstatic. It's my first time winning in the scavenger hunt, and first EVGA product. It turned me from a 25 year old lethargic guy to a giddy kid on Christmas that can't stop smiling.

I see you won the 5k bucks based on your user name, if so congrats. I'd imagine yours might take a bit longer due to the value of the prize, but they will get back to you this week I'd imagine.

Yeah, checked reddit and saw my user name on the grand prize. Started shaking if this was a prank. Then it came to fruition that I did win. Still in shock of it thou. Thank you very much!

Congrats to all the winners!! I'm amongst them with my commercial, but honestly, i'm a bit disappointed. At least the 120+ hours of work were educational and fun... Nonetheless, thanks EVGA!

Sorry to hear that, man. I guess I can't be that disappointed that I still haven't won anything, it's only the 2nd year I've taken part in this anniversary contest. As always, hopefully, better luck next time :). Gotta stay positive!

So the EVGA judges didn't reverse image search? Several of the winners lifted content that isn't theirs or EVGA's in violation of the rules of ownership. Some are pretty blatant too.
This is disappointing.
Yay desktop forum works again!
(sorry I can't reply to your PM...yet :\ ) I agree with all you said. I remember a few years ago when I won the grand prize, before the winners were announced they sent us a mail asking us to send proof ( I think it was a file that showed the layers of your wallpaper to make sure it was really yours and not stolen) . I wonder if they did that this year.

I just took a look at the results of the wallpaper contest too. (in which i didn't compete) That people with great entries, compared to bigger winners, ended up somewhere down on the list is unbelievable. It would be nice to see the motives of the 'judge', if they have any at all... :D

Tonize congrats on grand prize. 5000$, I can't imagine. For me that's like 50.000$. I hope you will buy i9-7980XE and X299 Dark and EVGA GTX1080Ti K|NGP|N and watercooled them because I would do that. I would laugh only because one reason, I would have enough money to beat any AMD CPU with Intel processor. That's my biggest wish. It's bad because Anniversary Event was not 2-3 months later later, we would see Intel Coffee Lake, EVGA X299 Dark, i9-7900X, i7-7820X. I would have much more energy to play games for them as idiot and participate in all content. But next year will be again.

its $5,000 EVGA bucks, I'm assuming the same thing we get with the affiliate code, doesn't have actual monetary value. He's restricted in buying items directly from EVGA's store.

Wow... looks like my 4790 rig will be getting an unexpected upgrade after all.  A big thanks to EVGA for going out of their way to put together and host another big giveaway event!! I've never used an EVGA motherboard before so this will prove interesting...
 Have water, will cool.
