Hey Steemians, it’s time to announce the winners of my 2nd Fastest Fingers First Contest. I want to thank all those who participated, showed some love and supported the contest through their comments, resteems and upvotes without you guys the contest wouldn’t be a successful one.
First off, everyone is a winner in this contest because you all get an upvote valued at from $0.02 and above. But winners are definitely going to get higher values which I hope should lift them to a higher level.
Change To Reward
I have the bad news, the good news and the very good news for key you as regards giving of prizes.
The bad news is that after I sent out my post about the contest yesterday, the price of steem has continually been going down. What that means is that even at 99% my full upvote is not up to $0.45 which is the prize for first place. Now, this got me worried.
The good news is that am still going to reward all key winners.
The very good news is that the 1st to 4th place winners will be rewarded with SBD worth of upvote instead of my upvote itself. As you can see, this is way cooler then my upvote itself. With SBD as Prize reward you get full value, Author and curation stuff regarding 75% and 25% won’t affect your earnings. Since Steem is currently very cheap, it means the 1st place winner getting $0.45 SBD can exchange it for steem to get 0.711 steem.
I do hope my little sacrifice makes the 1st 4 winners happy.
Contest Rules
The rule of the contest was very easy, after my post goes online today, participants were asked to wait for 15 minutes then comment, resteem and upvote.
I also stated that I was going to pick the positions based on the comment entries but that you've got to resteem and upvote it to qualify.
