> “Peace is always beautiful.” - **Walt Whitman.**
> 

Love, peace, and smiles are the best ways to create a world where everybody can live in peace and harmony.

We are living in the calmest era in human history. Some of us are not even aware of the actual damage and hardships ongoing war is causing in society. Because of this, we started our event with two great quotes from two geniuses of music and life, Bob Marley and Jimmy Hendrix. We added an extra topic dedicated to helping those suffering in the war in Ukraine. 

With this addition, we want to create an opportunity so you can help others with one of the most priceless assets out there, your knowledge.

## Extra prize pool

In the launch event, we announced a new extra event topic for the #TechForUkraine. This topic is 100% dedicated to helping those in need in these challenging times in Ukraine / Europe.

There is a new **USD$500** prize dedicated to this matter, making our total prize pool of **USD$2000**.

## Event extended

Also, in our launch event, we announced that we added another week to the event, making it officially from **February 28th** to **March 14th**. 

## Donations

Vue Storefront will donate **150%** of the total prize pool to support Ukraine. As a Polish company, we do our civil part by helping on-site and providing support to our Ukrainian brothers and sisters by all means.
