Prizes

We will have a big mountain of retro hardware and merch, like tshirts or caps.

The participants can select (according to their placement) from the pile of prizes.

We will try to send every participant a prize, even if they are not among the first 3.

This does NOT mean that you get hardware in any case BUT it means you get at least some stickers and a certifcate, no matter what placement.

The Prizegiving will be ONE HOUR AFTER the Demo Compo ends.

In case you cant be "present" (via telegram or whatsapp) at the prizegiving, we will reserve a prize for you, and contact you (via email) after the party to ask you if you want it.
