Event Story

2021 Thermaltake Ultra GIF Design Invitational Season 1, is an event where we invite 6 modders from 6 different regions to battle it out and create their very best gif themes for our new line of Ultra series products.

Event Rules

Over the course of 2 months they will be designing their very own animated shows on the Floe RC Ultra 240 CPU & Memory AIO Liquid Cooler. The cooler cannot be installed into a case and can only be secured to a motherboard or stand, modders are allowed to create a display stand to better display the cooler, more than that may result in point deduction. At the end, each modder will need to upload up to 5 GIF animations with a minimum of 3 GIF setups on the final video. The modders uploaded gifs cannot breach any copyright and must be made from scratch, other unauthorized content may result in deduction of points or even disqualification. All progress must be documented on the event microsite, at least once a week. The final videos must include their top 3 GIF animation profiles, also progression video shots will add bonus points.
