A few days ago I announced a little mid-week posting contest asking for people to describe their ideal weekend. I was feeling a little Mondayitis earlier in the week and I figured it would be fun to read a few posts about what people thought would be an ideal weekend and thought to make it a posting contest as well...I didn't count on it being so damned difficult to pick winners though. You can see the original contest announcement post here but remember entries are closed. You can still do a post if you like though.

There were a few entries and, with much difficulty, I narrowed them down to the following three winners. Thanks to all who entered though, your posts were all very good - A big congratulations goes to the three placegetters below. Oh, I had originally had a prize pool of 40 Hive but due to the excellent quality of posts added another 14 Hive for some special mentions.

THE WINNERS ARE

FIRST 20 HIVE: Hive account@tengolotodo

SECOND 15 HIVE: Hive account@papacrusher

THIRD 5 HIVE: Hive account@sagesigma

I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this mid-week contest and I hope those who entered found some value. There were some really excellent posts and I urge you folks to keep pushing hard on your content. Present it well and to the best of your ability, be creative and interesting, proof-read your writing, add in-focus images - preferably your own - and source all stock images with links to where you go it. Oh, and whilst you're at it engage on other people's posts with validity, interest and after having read them. It's the best way to attract people to you and to begin to build relationships.
