Winner Selection Process
The selection process is designed to be transparent and fair:
- For entry periods 1-16 (race NFTs) and period 17 (year-end NFT), everyone who mints an NFT is entered into a prize drawing.
- All participants receive an NFT with varying rarity levels.
- A computer-generated program randomly selects winners based on the number of prizes available for each entry period.
- Winning odds depend on how many eligible participants mint an NFT for a specific entry period.
Winners have three weeks from the closing of the minting window to redeem their prizes through the OKX marketplace. Redemption involves selecting the rare NFT in your dashboard, clicking 'redeem', and providing contact and shipping details. OKX or partner representatives will contact winners within 30 days to arrange prize fulfillment.
