Hi friends,
For the past two weeks or so, we've been building the anticipation for this day. We've recapped past events, teased you with the prizes you can win, and play games that help you win them. This month is focused solely on you.
Thanks to you, we're now a family of nearly 4 million breaking boundaries, time zones, and language barriers. Today, on our 7th Anniversary, we celebrate some of you that excelled in your participation in this Community throughout this trying year.
We're also premiering a new gear product – our brand-new OnePlus Urban Traveler Backpack, and unveiling our co-created Community Jacket.
So, without further ado, I'd like to invite you to watch our 2020 Community Awards ceremony, celebrate the Community together with us and be among the first to see our new Community swag.
We know there are countless other users who have contributed in a meaningful way to make the Community a better place. That's why we're inviting you to show some appreciation and tag those that you believe have left their mark in 2020's Community history.
We're also aware that some of you are still trying to get more raffle points for that special prize you want. So, we're rewarding the thread participants with much-needed RP:
- When replies reach 1000: each one gets 50RP.
- When replies reach 2000: each one gets 100RP.
- Once we reach the 1217th reply, we will randomly give 500 RP to one of the users participating.
If you see your name on the Community Awards winner list, please feel free to share your thoughts about receiving the award!
We hope you enjoyed the 2020 Community Awards and our brand-new Community Jacket and Urban Traveler Backpack. However, there's one more exciting announcement in store. Check Pete's Twitter account on December 21 to know more.

Well, I think I've calmed a bit more to make an official speech...
*Clears throat, taps mic* said:
Firstly congrats to all my fellow awardees: @Dresa91 , @Some_Random_Username , @Swejuggalo , @M1527571134641 , @Ujjwalprashar , @Areyouanand , @YRJ , @Tokolozi , @pillow35 , @the_o2 , @TibiTibi , @Mr. BG , @drl431, @oytoch , @philos64 , @SoniaB , @Artemus. and @Caomhin ! You deserve your dedicated awards, especially after this year!
Secondly, hopefully I'll get all your usernames right/not forgotten anyone, thanks to @Ryan_Fenwick , @dsmonteiro , @Crystal Z. , @Donna L. , @Xi Z. , @Cassius N. , @Pete , @Leo X. , @Loren Z. And all the staff at OnePlus for putting on this anniversary events and awards ceremony (and even more so working round this year's madness). Also, lovely to see @Trista W. pop up!
Special shout to @Waffle Toaster , who was the one who alerted me and said I should do the Jacket Competition. Wouldn't be here still today if he hadn't... (You really need to up your game now bro though. 😂)
And lastly, thank you to YOU the community. This year has been tough with the pandemic , lockdowns and much more. I have only been on the forums for a mere 6 months and yet it has felt like years with wonderful people across the world (that could be the lockdown talking though, ha). Hopefully we'll finally meet offline once the world becomes more... Settled (I have a VIP ticket with my name on it, just sayin').
But until then, may your world be safe, kind and wonderful.
And as always: Never Settle friends.
