Contests and Sweeps

[Wally_AMD]

 Easter is right around the corner, and we have an egg-cellent contest in store for you all!

Those of you who were part of the community since October of last year might remember the Red Team Halloween Pumpkin Hunt. If you missed it, don’t worry – you have another chance to enter a challenge just like it called the AMD Red Team Easter Egg Hunt, and it’s brought to you by our friends at MSI! They’ve been kind enough to supply an MPG X570S Edge Max Wi-Fi Motherboard for the grand prize winner, and a Vigor GK71 Sonic Blue Keyboard & Clutch GM51 Wireless Mouse to the runner-up!

Starting at 12:00 PM CST on Monday, April 10^th, you’ll have 72 hours to find a few “easter eggs” scattered around the Red Team Community page (RTCP). Again, if you remember the pumpkin hunt, you know the drill here! If you’re new, here’s how it works:

• You have 72 hours to find the hidden easter eggs on the RTCP. Starting April 10 at 12:00 PM CST and ending April 13 at 12:00 PM CST.
• To find them, you’ll need to sweep through the RTCP and hover your mouse cursor over anything conspicuous. You’ll know when you find one! (For mobile, you’ll have to tap.) 
• Finding the eggs will unveil part of a clue, and it’s up to you put the pieces together and solve the puzzle (questions)!
• To officially enter the contest: Figure out what the eggs represent, solve them, then send an email to community.moderator@amd.com with your answers.

Hint: All the answers can be found on various pages on the Red Team Community Page and the Red Team Community forum!

By the way, please don’t collaborate with anyone - the Easter Bunny may be watching…

Happy Hunting, Red Team!

Interesting contest.  Happy Easter Egg hunting Red Team!

This would be fun if it was open to Canadian residents as well. 🙁

[drpluto]

If you read the official rules - The Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of CANADA, and the FIFTY (50) UNITED STATES (including the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA), (each an “Eligible Country”) Good Luck😀

[blazer]

I did read the official rules, and when I read them, They said open to legal residents of the  FIFTY (50) UNITED STATES (including the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA) but at the time it was first written, it did not include Canada. 🤔

[Axxemann]

As of 2140MDT, the rules state Canada as good to go.

[Wally_AMD]

Sorry for that hiccup! In the official rules, Canada is game! I've updated the footnote here to reflect that, but yes - all eligible participants are listed in the full-blown rules.

[deyelive]

Thanks for the inclusion...eh!

[GreatnessRD]

I've never been good at stuff like this, but I'll give it a go anyway.

I like my motherboard, but an upgrade is always nice, lol.

[ThreeDee]

Noice! Thanks AMD peeps and MSI for hookin' whoever wins up yo!!11

[soullodolo]

Sounds fun

[BigAl01]

It starts today at 1 PM ET.

[rtbh99]

that last question was a tricky one!

[jdm]

This looks like fun!

Thanks AMD, and also MSI for those prizes!

[Key-J]

Excited to give it a go tonight! Was happy to play the Easter Bunny for my kids yesterday, so I'm down to be the one finding the eggs!

[Wally_AMD]

The Hunt is Live until 12 PM CST, April 13th! Good Luck everyone! 

Remember, scan the page for anything that may stand out!

[Doryan]

I'm a little late to the hunt, but I'm still going to try my luck.

[venaur]

This is fun but i am also stuck on one of the questions. Losing my mind!

[larrydarren]

Very cool Easter hunt. Thanks for the chance @Wally_AMD 🤗

[Axxemann]

So... I'm finding some very conspicuous stuff, but when I mouse over, all that shows up is a question mark... Am I doing something wrong?

[venaur]

Hover it over for a second 🙂

[Axxemann]

It took more like 4 seconds, but I see what's happening. I'll blame it on input lag!

[deyelive]

Wow I was having no luck finding any over an hour...Realized the hard way having Night light mode makes a difference haha.

[deyelive]

If I wasn't clear don't use any overlays while browsing RTCP (ie: Red moon on Android, Nightlight on Windows / Linux). Blue light exposure is the price to be paid in  the hunt for eggs...

[Eudicots]

The last question seems the easiest, but it's the most brutal XD

[Omek]

Wow, I'm completely lost. I found them, but I don't know what they mean.

[dongjj1990]

need help with the last question

[Wally_AMD · Accepted solution]

EDIT: Congratulations to our Grand Prize winner @yakyak and our 2nd place winner @venaur!! Thanks again to all who joined in on the fun and as always, keep an eye out for more contests and giveaways in the future.

The contest is over, everyone! Thank you all so much for taking the time and joining us in the hunt. 

I'll be reviewing all the submissions and will reach out to our winners shortly. Those who participated, be sure to keep an eye on your PMs (if you have them enabled) or your email!

[venaur]

This was a ton of fun! Thanks for hosting this event! 🙂

[Mption]

Grats winners, good job, I see @venaur all over the tech interweb, so its nice to see him win!

[Vynski]

Not another Easter egg hunt.  Or am I confusing this with a Great Pumpkin hunt.

Whatever.  I couldn't find any of the hidden goodies.

So GOOD LUCK to everyone that has the talent for these hunts.  I'm OUT.

[larrydarren]

Nice!! Congratulations @yakyak and @venaur
