For the last six weeks of 2017, I ran a contest on steemit called The Altcoin Trading Championship, for which I offered a prize for the winner of each of the twelve rounds plus a guaranteed Grand Prize of 100 SBD to The Altcoin Trading Champion, the overall winner of the Championship.
This Grand Prize was then added to by a very generous donation by 
The contest was based around gaining experience of trading on the altcoin markets, with no risk of financial loss while gaining this experience. I provided each of the contestants with one imaginary Bitcoin at the start of each round and also a screenshot of the top 20 volume coins on Bittrex from which to choose and invest the 1 BTC. These investments were then locked in and after three days, whoever had increased their initial investment the most would be the round winner, receiving the round prize and points towards the Championship.
This post is a Proof Of Payment post detailing all of the payments made by me to the winners of each of the twelve rounds as well as the 120 SBD Grand Prize to The Altcoin Trading Champion, 
Congratulations once again . I hope you like your banner, :)
. I hope you like your banner, :)Below are screenshots from my steemit account detailing all of the prizes distributed during the championship, a total of 149.04 SBD.
I'd like to take this opportunity also to thank everyone who took part in and supported the contest throughout its duration and to end the post by saying that I have had some interest in having a season two, both from some of those who took part in Season One as and also some others who found out about it a little later.
I have no set date in mind for it's return and will have to look at other ways of structuring it in future, since this contest based around gaining experience of trading and making profits has actually cost me a little bit myself and in terms of financial investment, I have taken a loss and while I am pleased that the contest was pretty successful, it perhaps wouldn't be wise of me to invest my time and energy into something that will again be financially unsuccessful.
So if there is to be a second season, I wouldn't be able to guarantee such a large prize unless there was some sort of sponsorship. If there is anyone out there interested in sponsoring a second season of The Altcoin Trading Championship, I'd be happy to speak with you, so please feel free to get in touch with me in the comments or on steemit.chat or discord, 
Cheers.
And that just about wraps up this little post. As always, have a great day everyone and thanks for your time. :)
In Case You Missed Them. :)
