There should have been news here that a shortlist of applications submitted to the contest works. But no, not this time.
In the last days of the contest, the authors sent as many works as they had sent in the last two weeks. Either two topics were added, or maybe the excitement that some authors finally awoke to, or maybe other factors had an impact. Therefore, after consulting with the contest partners Logitech, we have decided to extend the deadline for submissions.
The deadline for submissions has been extended to March 22 inclusive!
Contests are not a very common thing nowadays. And somehow, it is not a good idea to choose 9 best works out of 20 submitted ones, some of which will not be shortlisted because of the use of AI in writing — that’s what I thought last Thursday. And now, people have started to send their works much more actively in recent days. So, in order to keep up the pace, we decided to extend the contest for two weeks so that everyone who didn’t have time to finish their articles or didn’t get around to it (and I see a bunch of unfinished articles in the drafts) could finish them. And those who didn’t dare to write, got together and wrote something.
I understand that they will not be satisfied – there is more competition, they want to know the result as soon as possible, but we have what we have – the authors, except for a few, hardly ever write without competitions, and during the competition they do it, to put it mildly, slowly.
Everyone still has a chance to win cool prizes from the contest partner Logitech — professional racing steering wheel for gaming Logitech G923 Racing Wheel and Pedals for PS5, PS4 and PC and one of eight low-profile gaming keyboards Logitech G815 LIGHTSYNC RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard! In addition, I would like to remind you of the terms and topics of the competition.
Topics of articles for the competition
To March 22 including writing material on the following topics:
How to participate in the contest
Write a free-style story on the topics suggested above. For those who have not yet written texts or participated in previous contests for some reason, we will tell you how to do it.
First, you need to register by clicking the «Sign in» button in the upper right corner of the site. Then click «Create an account».
After registration, the button «Create post» will appear in the author’s profile, which leads to a convenient and understandable editor.
After you write an article, it goes for moderation and then appears in the site menu «Posts», and those articles that we particularly liked will appear on the main page of the site.
We remind you that articles for the contest should be sent to EXCLUSIVELY IN UKRAINIAN, since it is the one that maintains «Posts».
And it is important to observe rules, of course.
What articles are eligible for the contest
Real. The article can’t be about fictional equipment or events. We want to make sure that you have written about your experience and not translated text from third-party resources.
Unique. Copies of other people’s texts will not work, the article must be published for the first time on ITC.ua.
It is advisable not to use artificial intelligence and any kind of AI to create articles.
Otherwise, you have complete freedom: we do not limit the length of the material, the number of characters, or the choice of technology, as long as it meets the contest conditions.
Let’s not forget a few other important points. First of all, the language of author’s articles on ITC.ua is exclusively Ukrainian. Secondly, illustrative material and original visualizations significantly improve the quality of texts and increase the chances of winning. It happens that a person forgot to add the main image, or somehow inserted the photo into the text crookedly. However, some authors send their material without any photos at all. Please do not do this.
We are extremely pleased that so many people write articles, comment, and read the authors’ articles — it is very inspiring, gives us strength, inspiration to work, improve, develop, and delight you with new contests with nice gifts.
Thank you for continuing to write original articles on ITC!
We wish you inspiration and success!
