I also quickly received a prize from ChipMixer, for which I am immensely grateful. And BestChange also sent a mail asking them to send them the wallet number.
My thanks.

icopress, cool set of stickers. Is there any way to get them or will it be part of the prize?  

Yes, there should be a lot of different knick-knacks in gift tubes.

As for your personal situation, I think it will be very difficult for Cyrus to send you prizes. I will talk to him and clarify the details ... besides, if delivery to your country still fails, I can ask him for vector sketches and you can print these stickers anywhere in your city where mugs or t-shirts are printed.

Congratulation to all the winners!

We have sent the prize: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/4e2b926c3c8728d13de20393885329fa71622a7cc129370fb59cda7c51ae8935

We are still waiting for a few winners to send us their wallets, and will dully send them their reward.

Then have to wait for better times to receive these prizes.

If you have family or friends living outside of Russia, you can always have your prize package delivered to them. When the situation calms down, they can re-ship it to you or you pay them a visit and get it yourself.

This would be a great idea and not only for Community Award winners, but for all other bitcointalk forum members.
I always prefer printing my own stuff locally if possible instead of ordering them abroad and waiting for delivery that many times have unexpected delays.
Let's get those sticker files released and ready for printing... I am especially interested in T-shirt designs.

Winners from 1 basket

Oh wow, I never really expected this, a really big surprise and an honour seeing my name in basket 1, i didn't write a speech

Wow! Congrats man for being one of the lucky ones in the dip! I know it's a stroke of luck but then not everyone gets that lucky. Enjoy the moment. One luv.

Congratulations to all 2021 awardees. You guys were all best in the categories you won. I think there should be consolation prices for those who come 2nd and 3rd in the next year's edition, instead of winner takes it all. I think that should be helpful as I've witnessed that some people got their votes scattered in different categories by voters and as a result couldn't amass total votes for any category. More so, I want to state here that I've maximum respect for the sponsors of this year's award, especially Bestchange. Kudos.

Theymos, I love your love for giving. Your insistence that your winnings should be sent to Razom is worthy of emulation. You've my respect.[/list]

We have sent the award to the rest of the winners: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/f2fdfc0deb6dd9f65b701e011074690131d5b93f5af23ca694dbcb2a8d4320e4

Congratulations!

I would also like to express my gratitude to icopress, to sponsors, and to confirm that I received (very fast) the prize from ChipMixer! I would also like to thank to all which nominated me during the contest.

It was a great contest, which needed plenty of work. I felt joy participating, same as last year, but this year I also realized how difficult can be, in fact, to organize such a contest. And I saw only a part of it! This happened after icopress asked for my help in counting the votes and I did not hesitate even one second for ensuring him of my willing to help.

But only after that I realized how much time he invested last year, and this year too, for managing all the parts of the contest(s). Counting nominations seems an easy job and it is so, in a way, as it's not like dealing with rocket science. But it requires a huge amount of hours. So although it is not hard, you do not sweat by doing it, it really needs to have plenty of hours for writing down each voter; each nomination; then counting them; marking who is not eligible to vote; then, after a while, making a double-check; then, after finishing this, making a triple-check and so on.

While doing these chores I had a revelation and only then I understood how much dedication icorepss had for creating these two contests from scratch - talking to staff, talking to sponsors, talking to helping hands (if any), creating the topics (remember, there were 3 topics created for each contest - the one for nominations, the one for discussion and the one with the quiz), creating the templates for announcing the winners... Even writing these topics, formatting the text properly, finding the funny pictures (and many other similar activities) require a lot of time, hard work and passion!

I was thrilled by his request and, I hope, he was pleased by my work.

I know, there were many vocals about "that's not fair / the other thing is not fair" etc. but the truth is that nobody can anticipate everything. All he did was his own initiative, nobody asked icopress for doing these contests and, furthermore, he did not owe anything to anybody. He wanted to make an activity for joy and, in most parts, he managed to do it -- this is why I am congratulating him again! I also believe that most of the participants felt joy and fun during the contest and, seen as a whole, this initiative was a success!

Of course, minor errors existed but lessons were learned and I am sure that next contest will please even more users! I wish I could also give a hand of help, if it will be needed.

Excepting all these, I am congratulating all winners, all nominated users and all participants!

Nice my friend!
This means that, after all, the fun in organising went to more than offset the difficulties you encountered in the process. So it is nice to have you back next year!
