When will be the 100 winners for the blogpost declared?

I submitted my project in the initial days when the hackathon started meeting all the requirements along with the blog post but still, I can't see any update regarding the blogpost winners. Please tell me where is the list of blogpost winners.

    Hi Dani,

    Last time I checked, the blog post reward didn’t mention any credit-based system. Could you please clarify why the terms were updated after the hackathon ended? Appreciate your help!

    Bonus Blog Post (350)
    * $100 for the first 350 eligible bonus blog posts on https://community.aws/ using the tag “game-challenge”

    Hi Ankit, per the rules, the $100 will be distributed as credits.

    "Bonus Blog Post

    $100 AWS Credit
    Up to 350

    The first 350 blog posts on community.aws that are associated with an eligible submission (limit of 1 credit per Project)."

    Additionally on the main overview page under prizes, we listed the following:

    Bonus Blog Post
    350 winners
    $100 AWS Credit The first 350 blog posts on community.aws that are associated with an eligible submission (limit of 1 credit per Project).

    Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    I agree with ankit's point. I was also thinking the same, the prize mentioned initially when I submitted my submission & blog post was of $100 & not AWS credits worth $100

    Hi Shubham and Ankit, we do apologize for any confusion here! The rules have been consistent during the hackathon and have always stated that the prize will be in AWS credits. In the future, if you ever have questions about the prizes and their value, do not hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you for all your hard work and feedback!

    I agree with Ankit's point. The prize for the 350 eligible blog was "$100" rather than" $100 AWS Credit" on the website when I submitted.

    I was also surprised to see the reward for the bonus blog post change from $100 to 100$ AWS credits.This wasn’t mentioned in the original terms.

    Hi Dani, I respectfully disagree to your statement "The rules have been consistent during the hackathon and have always stated that the prize will be in AWS credits. " on the main page AWS Credits term was not mentioned.

    Yeah, The rules have been changed, Any solution?

  • Manager   •   about 1 year ago

    Hi there, I do see how there was some confusion here and for that I sincerely apologize. The rules have been consistent and have always stated credits will be distributed.

    Additionally, there is another clause in the rules that states that the Sponsor in its sole discretion has the right to make a prize substitution of equivalent or greater value. Although this won't be done in this instance as the rules have always specified credits, that is something to consider for future hackathons.

    If anyone has additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. My email is dani@devpost.com

    Thank you all for your hard work on this hackathon and I do hope to see you participate in future hackathons as well!

    I have received the gift code thanks a lot. I think the confusion was due to not mentioning on the first page, under Rules there was indeed an explanation of how the 100 USD would be distributed.

    Can you please disclose if the Feedback prize was also distributed or is still going to be announced?

  • Manager   •   about 1 year ago

    Hi there, we are still collecting paperwork, and the feedback prize has not yet been distributed. It should be sent in the next 60 days!

    Hi Dani,
    I haven't received the $100 AWS credit for Bonus Blog Post. Could you please provide information on when the credits will be distributed or if there are any additional steps I need to take?

    Thank you.

    Hi Nghia, we sent you the email with your credit code several weeks ago. Please check your spam folder to see if it might be in there. If not, please email me directly and I will re-share the code with you.

    I have found the email with the credit code. It was my mistake for not checking the spam folder earlier. Thank you for your support!

    My pleasure!
