Please find below the results of the Writing Contest titled "My Dream Vacation Destination is..." (https://steemit.com/travel/@nuoctuong/my-dream-vacation-destination-is-writing-contest-over-20-sbds-prize-pool). The participation has been phenomenon. We received 35 original entries into the contest. Thank you for taking us along on your dream!
First of all, much thanks and appreciation to the two judges, 
Hive account@for91days and 
Hive account@lenancie who read through the fantastic 35 entries and provided their feedback. The judges were instructed to award 100 points between the entrants. The points were tallied and the entries with the highest scores declared winners. We were taken to popular destinations such as New York City and Paris, France. But participants also introduced us to places where you wouldn't think would be on someone's dream destinations such as the Dead Sea or Tanzania. Then there was 
Hive account@ejgarcia who submitted the winning entry that took us to the Virtual Worlds, which wasn't even a physical location.
The Winners are:
1st Place Hive account@ejgarcia Virtual Worlds 10 SBDs + 1 SBI + 1 SBI from

P.S. I was first introduced to the Steemian Community by posting an entry to 
Hive account@hungrybanana Contest "Why I love being in the Vietnamese Community" . At the time, I was so new to Steemit that I didn't even understand the context of contest was intended for the Discord Community 
Hive account@teamvn. I wrote about the general offline Vietnamese Community that had nothing to do with Steemit. Nevertheless, the judges find the entry interesting enough and introduced me to the Vietnamese Discord Community. Steemit is a positive and growing community that I hope will continue to prosper under the goodwill and active participation of its users.
