you could always buy a load of pillows for acoustic reasons.

That's not a bad idea.  If my daughter starts blasting one more Minecraft parody song then I may just need to sound insulate that room.

Hey all,

For the past 3 years I have desperately wanted a good PC to enter into the computer world. Half price laptops are the only thing keeping me going. I have a dream of an old-themed setup, complete to my own specifications. I love my desk and went as far as to build a replica setup out of cardboard. This is as close as i can get to the real thing, and really enjoyed making the setup. I made a youtube video and the camera quality is meh, but I tried my best to represent my Dream Setup. Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q86vmIbBRb4

 You mean the email that said they'll announce the winners on Oct. 7 or something else?

I applied in time and even got a confirmation email, but I didn't get the email regarding Oct. 7, and now I'm freaking out :D Does anyone have the same issue?

So far you are the first person who has mentioned this problem.

Thank you for responding, do you have any idea what I need to do now? I don't want to lose the chance of winning after creating a video just due to an error in the system...

I guess all you can do is wait. You could try emailing LG or someone but I'm not sure how effective that would be.

You're right, I emailed LG via the contact on ultrawidefestival.com. I'll let you know once I hear anything. Thank you!

No problem about the replying as well. I always try to reply if I can. It would appear that I'm the most senior member around here at the moment anyway so that's always fun.

I hate to be the bear of bad news, but I fear for our chances.

 

On october 2nd, I was expecting an email saying if we won or not. So I kept checking my email on my phone. When I finally got the email from Ultrawide, my heart rate skyrocketed. I read the first few words that say "Thank you..." then my heart sank and I was terrified. I was expecting it to say, "Thank you, but you didn't make it" or something. It didn't, and I was so relieved. But it said we would have to wait till October 7th. All this waiting is killing me! At least from the looks of it, there is a glimmer of hope for all of us.

 

But, on the official website, it says "Semi Finalists selection process will be completed by October 2nd, and the semi finalists will be notified of their selection via e-mail addressed they submitted on their application. If a selected person does not reply our notice e-mail within 7 days after the issue of the e-mail, subsequent nominees will replace the person's status as Semi Finalist."

 

It says it will be finished by Oct 2. So now I am afraid that while we all got the email saying winners announced on Oct 7th, there are 30 people out there that got the "You've won" email. LG is just hoping they will reply before Oct 7th so LG can put their name on the website. SOMEONE PROVE ME WRONG!

I was worried about this too, but linus responded to a tweet yesterday saying that he's reviewing the submissions this weekend.
