I ran a little caption contest last week for a drawing I did. The idea was for everyone to give their ideas for a caption I could use to put on a t-shirt with the drawing. Sadly, only two steemians entered the contest.

Thank you both for participating
I've been really racking my brain trying to decide who the winner could be, but it is impossible with only two entries. So, I'm going to say they are both winners and I've sent the first place prize of 10 Steem to both participants.
I really wish more people would have joined in. I see all these meme contests getting a lot of participation and figured people would jump at the chance for 10 steem. I shared the contest throughout steemit chat and then did the same thing a few days later with no extra responses. Maybe it was just bad timing and I'll have better luck next time.
A Weird Observation
On a side note, after my contest post paid-out and I wanted to see if there were any more entries on the last day, my post seemed to have disapeared from the #steemcaptioncontest feed. The same was with 's because that post was also paid out. The only one that was showing was
's.
Is this a glitch?
Or is this supposed to be like that?
I still think there should be a way to view older posts even if they have been paid out on a certain topic. If this isn't a glitch then, to me, this sort of implies that a paid out post no longer has value and it's basically been discarded. Sure you can still see the post in each individual's blog, but why not have them visible in the created section (new section) in the order that they were created? This would allow a greater chance for someone to stumble on the post. Although they couldn't give any monetary value to it, they may still want to follow the author for similar future posts.
Is there a way a person could still look up all the posts under a specific tag within steemit, or would it have to be done elsewhere like steemd.com?
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
