<p>Take note of what you are doing right now. You will remember this moment forever. It was just announced that Damien Hirst's globe-trotting Spot Challenge has been completed, only eight days after the shows opened at all 11 Gagosian branches, with two Hirst lovers visiting each space.</p>
<p>First over the finish line was Valentine Uhovski, the <a href="http://nymag.com/news/people/31555/">socialite founder</a> of the websites Art Ruby and Socialite Rank, followed closely thereafter by Jeff Chu, a journalist for <em>Fast Company</em>. The lucky men will earn a special Damien Hirst print for their efforts. (Here's a bit <a href="http://www.observer.com/2008/o2/starlet-letters-former-socialite-rank-minx-turns-her-attention-astrology">more about Mr. Uhovski, courtesy of Irina Aleksander</a>.)<!--more--></p>
<p>Toasting his victory, on <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/jeffchu">Twitter</a>, Mr. Chu wrote, "Thanks to the very kind @gagosian folks for an unforgettable #spotchallenge week--not to mention the Veuve Clicquot at the finish!" Yes, that's right, Gagosian had champagne waiting for the world travelers at the finish, making their remarkable accomplishment just a little bit sweeter.</p>
<p>Mr. Uhovski was gracious in his victory speech <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/artruby">on Twitter</a>. "Thanks again for the many e-mails and support during this crazy #spotchallenge," he wrote. "It's been a true Amazing Hirst Race!" Amazing, indeed.</p>
