This is the work of a winner, however it's really unusual work, but we loved it and we wanted to share it with you guys. Here is a poem that our winner wrote:

Srdjan's Poem

Why does a poet want a top gaming monitor,
A window in the world of cutting edge technology?
I'll capture the sight like a professional photographer
And let you know why I deserve it with my words ferocity 

I sit all day in front of my seventeen inch world
Trying to improve my Photoshop skills
Creating beauty in which all of my senses whirled
When I’m looking at the colors, my heart thrills

I feel excited, but I know that something is missing
A more-accurate color display and high image detail
And to become a pro it’s necessary as breathing
Such qualities can’t be found just anywhere in retail 

Solution comes from the Land of the Rising Sun
EIZO, the name of perfection in the sphere of industry
Where their quality can be matched and their performance can’t be outdone
When they are constantly shifting the boundary 

But when the Sun sets and night comes
It’s time to play some games
And I start to hear the beating of the war drums
It’s time to focus, to sharpen my aim 

Whether it’s League of Legends
Or action-packed Counter Strike
It time to achieve greatness,
One Holy Grail that we all strive 

Competitive gaming is my passion
And my vice is addiction of adrenaline rush
And the sound of “Victory!” is my anthem
And my dream is seeing my opponents crushed 

My dream will come true
If I get this assassins weapon
With EcoView my eyes won’t hurt
When I drain my opponent’s life essence 

Smart insight, unfair advantage?
Smart Resolution, eye of the eagle
When I prepare and ambush
And ace with a Deagle 

You can’t defeat what you can’t see
They can run, they can hide
But with Smart Detection I will go on a killing spree
They can’t escape an eye 23 inch wide

Why do I deserve the FIRST FORIS FS233
Among the others, who match my dedication?
Because It is all I need
As my passion and my inspiration

Featuring EIZO's all-new Smart Insight technology, the FORIS FS2333 brings out the details in dark areas like no other gaming monitor before it so you can spot your opponent before he spots you.

You can't defeat what you can't see. With that in mind, EIZO developed Smart Insight technology to vastly improve visibility in dark areas of the screen. With Smart Insight, you can see the vital details that would otherwise be hidden so you can surprise your opponent before he surprises you. Conventional gaming monitors apply gamma correction across the screen to improve visibility which results in blurring and reduced contrast in the dark areas, the FS2333's Smart Insight uses a technique called tone mapping which preserves the image details without reducing contrast. The difference is so significant that it's almost like an unfair advantage.

The FORIS FS2333 uses an IPS panel and a mercury-free LED backlight. The IPS panel offers vivid display of color and wide 178° viewing angles. Even when looking at the screen from an angle there’s little change in the contrast or color. At 3.4 ms, it has the fastest response time of any IPS panel in its size so you get both deep color and smooth display of games and movies.

There are two ways you can enter the competition to win FORIS FS2333. 

– Create a desktop wallpaper that includes the monitor and the Fnatic logo we provide. It should be at least 1280x800px big. You can get the required graphics here.   

– Write a short piece as to 'Why they deserve' to get the first FORIS FS2333. No less than 250 words.

Furthermore, in the video we will provide there's a S/N (Serial number) that is listed at the back of the monitor at a particular part so you need to pay attention to this. Here is the video:

It's really up to you to decide which way you want to go with. Whether it's a poet or an artist living inside of you.
