content: Has anyone actually, entered this and won the ability to actually create something? yes this is a 'Project' and 'Design' and 'Technical "stuff". Since well.... Out of the SELECT few I was chosen. As I didn't expect to actually BE chosen.... I didn't plan for this at all. Just because you enter DOESNT mean you will be chosen... and since I never get chosen for anything I enter online(Last one I entered that I WON was the Diablo II sweepstakes for the EAX soundsystem back in 1999? or 2000... I have the ppwrk somewhere.. but that was the LAST time I won very long time).If you want proof that I won, I did do an unboxing(just haven't uploaded it since I just got it)... I don't usually do an unboxing, but since it was an unknown package, I always do it for unknown package(never know could be a bad thing in there)and it was a surprise as well.Anyone have any ideas? My brain fried when I got the box. Overload really.

content: Only the first 200 get selected, not everyone. read the rules, and the about on the page. 200 only get selected over how many really entered?I entered last year really early too and I didn't get selected, so no not everyone gets chosen.

content: Since you wouldn't BELIEVE ME if I said anything else till I had PROOF.QuoteSee "chosen" it was a choice by their own words.Though I wasn't given anything no email no phone call no snail mail letter, but who cares I got it anyways. So next time do your home work, I knew what I was talking about and you didn't. Because it is common sense, and logic not monkies flying out of your butt comments. So Don't flame someone or troll someone before you have proof of what you say.If you want you can email them directly, and ask the question, and you will get the same answer as I got if you don't want to believe me. That I win in essence out of hundreds of thousands of people who entered. I admit I might have been #10629 entry person but the 'best 200' out of that many candidates, So Yeh it is a WIN or CHOSEN few not the first 200, it is a 'vetting' process and I made it. And far and few did obviously.-Odomus
