Results of the article contest for the game "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" supported by NVIDIA, "White Unicorn", and CD Projekt RED

Friends, hello again!

As many of you have noticed (and it was hard not to), this summer, "The Witcher" reigned supreme on Gamer. The third part of the saga about Geralt, the favorite of monsters and women, garnered a lot of respect, admiration, and attention. For almost a month and a half, hardworking participants prepared a bunch of works in various formats: guides, tips, all sorts of curious stuff, and collectible reviews - none of these categories were overlooked. It took quite some time to read through kilometers of these manuscripts, which cost several human lives. And now we are ready to announce the results.

ABOUT THE SPONSORING COMPANIES

Three wonderful companies, many of whom you are probably familiar with, support the contest. **NVIDIA**, the creators of the coolest hardware solutions, will provide hardware and souvenirs, the publishing house **"White Unicorn"** will gift the famous witcher encyclopedia to the winners, and the developers of "The Witcher", **CD Projekt RED**, will add promotional products to the prize pool.

NVIDIA revealed the power of computer graphics to the world when it invented the GPU in 1999. These multicore processors allow gamers to enjoy an immersive experience and enable professionals to create various designs, from shampoo bottles to airplanes. The ability of GPUs to process data in parallel allows scientists and researchers to effectively work with high-performance applications, and GPUs are widely used around the world in supercomputers. Recently, NVIDIA entered the rapidly growing mobile solutions market, where the company’s processors are the foundation of phones, tablets, and broadcasting systems. The company holds over 2,100 patents worldwide, including those that form the basis of modern computing.

"White Unicorn" is a publishing house specializing in translations and publications of art books, comics, and game encyclopedias. In their portfolio, you'll find art books on [Mass Effect](/games?search=Mass Effect) and [Dragon Age](/games?search=Dragon Age), Dishonored, and "The Witcher", comics on gaming and fantasy themes.

CD Projekt RED is a video game developer company founded in 2002. They worked on all three parts of "The Witcher" and are currently working on the anticipated title [Cyberpunk 2077](/games?search=Cyberpunk 2077). Well, you already know this, friends. :)

PRIZES

As is tradition, we have three prize-winning places, and here are the prizes awaiting our winners.

A video card - the prize for the winner!

The grand prize of the contest is a powerful gaming video card **NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960**. The GeForce GTX 960 is a high-performance video card designed for serious gaming like our beloved "The Witcher". Based on the next-generation NVIDIA® Maxwell™ architecture, the GeForce GTX 960 combines the latest technologies with excellent performance. This card will definitely not hinder the witchers who have gone hunting. ;)

A whole chest full of useful loot for each of the prizewinners.

NVIDIA also provides a whole bunch of cool, and most importantly, useful souvenirs for the contest: backpacks and t-shirts with company branding, as well as SWAG sets.

A SWAG set includes:

• 2 bracelets (green and black)

• wristband

• notebook + pen + pencil

• mouse pad

• sticker + 3 tattoos (washable)

• passport cover

• lanyard for a badge

A wonderful encyclopedia "The World of The Witcher".

Also, our winners (all three of them) will receive a copy of "The World of The Witcher", a wonderful illustrated game encyclopedia published by "White Unicorn". This compendium contains a lot of interesting and useful information that will be handy for any monster hunter. The brand new volume, smelling of print, will embellish any fan's collection of the witcher series.

Moreover, the developers themselves will not overlook the winners. Each participant who falls into the prize pool will receive a branded t-shirt, a wolf pin, and a set of stickers in the style of the game.

And, of course, we won’t leave you without bonuses from the GAMER.ru administration.

According to the contest rules, participants could publish any articles related to witcher themes. You can familiarize yourself with the contest theme and all the works here. The trio of prizewinners looks as follows.

WINNERS

• 1ST PLACE

The winning author is simply on fire!

The winner of the contest, who receives the GeForce GTX 960 video card and the SWAG set from NVIDIA, the "World of The Witcher" encyclopedia from "White Unicorn", a set of souvenirs from CD Projekt RED, VIP status for a month, and 200 experience points on Gamer.ru is... Elle. She didn’t get her branded Wiedzminka status for nothing: she has detailed walkthroughs and nicely designed reviews that have no analogs on the runet. Believe us, we checked. The imperial posts and excellent knowledge of the universe make Elle the undisputed winner of our contest. Congratulations! :3

• 2ND PLACE

The vice-winner is also on fire.

The second place winner, who will receive a backpack, t-shirt, and SWAG set from NVIDIA, the "World of The Witcher" encyclopedia from "White Unicorn", a set of souvenirs from CD Projekt RED, VIP for a month, and 120 experience points on Gamer.ru, is Furrion. This character has been a true revelation for us: he mastered Gwent, created guides on equipment, skills, endings... in short, he left his mark everywhere he could. He’s been on the site for 4 years, but just burst into the scene, you could say, only now. But what a burst! Well done! :)

• 3RD PLACE

All our prizewinners are just rocking it!

The participant who took third place, the holder of a t-shirt and SWAG set from NVIDIA, the "World of The Witcher" encyclopedia from "White Unicorn", a set of souvenirs from CD Projekt RED, VIP for a month, and 80 experience points on Gamer.ru is mchammer. Hammer is a frequent guest in such contests, and he didn’t miss out this time either: he contributed with walkthroughs, equipment advice, information about ladies, and did a lot more. Respect and admiration to you! :)

To all other participants - a bow to the ground for your excellent works. This is colossal work, and you are very much champions for creating such unreal things. :)

Winners, as always, are warmly awaited in private messages: I need your coordinates for prize delivery (full name, postal code, address, contact phone). You do understand that the teleportation system is still not working, and we have to settle for the ancient delivery methods. ^\_

To everyone, huzzah and hurrah, the contest is closed.

Witchery and all your truly, Gamer.ru.
