Hey SteemFam!

Last week I had announced a #bottleartchallenge contest for my fellow artists, here on Steemit.

I had received 10 entries in total.

Since this was my first time arranging a contest for my fellow Steemians, it was a little tough for me.

---

I want to thank Hive account@instructor2121 for guiding me at the initial stages of the contest, for consoling me when I was upset about the low response to the contest and for helping my contest gain a little more visibility.

I also want to thank Hive account@firepower for supporting my contest and donating 12SBD towards the reward pool of the contest.

The contest post has earned 26.919 SBD as shown below:

So that makes the total reward pool a cool 38.919 SBD.

The winner will be getting 26.919 SBD (100% of SBD payout) of the contest post. The runner-up will get the 12 SBD that was donated by Hive account@firepower.
Judging this contest was a little tough for me since I liked many of the entries. Thank you Hive account@jznsamuel, for helping judge the entries ☺

I want to thank all of the participants for taking the time and effort to participate in this contest. I had a tough time selecting ONE winner as I got inspired by so many entries.
But in the end, there can only be one winner.

The WINNER of the very first #bottleartchallenge is Hive account@becometheartist for "option 3" and the RUNNER-UP is Hive account@erangvee.

Congratulations to you both!
