As many of you will know, back in June last year we lost our good friend and Senior Moderator Dean Kortenhoven, better known to us as Kreij to Cancer. For those of you that knew Kreij you will know that not only was he a leading light within this community but he was one damn fine human being. TPU, his family and anyone who knew him well are the poorer without him.

Kreij is remembered throughout our community in many ways, none more prominent than our Memorial build giveaways that not only support current members with the opportunity to win good quality hardware/systems (giveaway builds are geared to be able to game/crunch/fold well) but just as importantly to add more machines to the constant war against this ugly and hateful disease, for that we have our crunching/folding friends to thank as well as our outstanding TPU forum community, we thought it would be a good idea to compliment the existing memorials with something a little different in the form of a Christmas competition but with a little twist. The competition will involve a little writing but in return the winner will receive a graphics card kindly donated by our friends from XFX to whom we are very grateful.

More details and the competition opener will be published shortly, the final twist is that the competition will be hidden within an existing Kreij thread, so practice those forum searching skills to find and participate!

This is awesome of ya @btarunr to announce this on the main site page.

Its great that XFX is jumping on board with a video card prize!!! Should be an amazing holiday challenge and give away!
 
Great one guys! I'm all in! :peace::lovetpu::rockout:
 
RIP Kreij

I know some of you have had contact with his family. Maybe now is a good time to send a remembrance card their way, let them know they are not alone in their grief?
 
I can now announce, the competition is live and open, if you can find it of course!:clap:
 
This shows the awesomness of TPU :toast:

Found it but the image needs repair.

I apparently suck at searching within the forums >.<
 
My Forum-Fu search skills suck apparently.
 
Don't overcomplicate your search terms, found it in a few minutes with a single word.
 
There is something in the first thread here that made me go o_O and I used that and it popped right up.
 
I've located. Now to enter. I relish the opportunity to use my creative writing skills again! :)
