Those were all the entries folks. First place will get half of the Steem Dollars from the first payout of this post and the Midweek Update, and two runners up will each receive 1/4 of the same.
Since the Midweek Update paid out just under $6.00 in Steem Dollars ($14.46 grand total, $10.95 total to author, of which just under $6 was Steem Dollars) the Winner will get $3.00 Steem Dollars and the two runners up will each get $1.50 in Steem Dollars. They will also split the first payout from this one the same way.
I know that may not seem like much, but I can only upvote once per post, and none of the entry posts made over $0.30 total. If you want to change that, you can upvote the original posts and this one, and we can get these entries some more $STEEM$ for playing. Just check out the links or visit the entrants pages to show your support and check out what they are up to.
AND THE WINNER IS:

If you are interested in some other strange ways to win steem, here are three quick options:
Yogart - I still have two STEEM Tokens to award for this post
Super-Hot Pepper Challenge - 10 STEEM Tokens for the winner - LINK HERE
"Johnny Depp" - This one came up randomly, but 1 STEEM token will be awarded for it - You'll have to read the replies in my posts to figure it out - It's there somewhere.
These are just some fun ways to try to get some STEEM in your pockets, and maybe help some minnows out, or some dolphins or whales if they get to it first.
Thanks,
