A last word from
This post put an end to the SteemFest³ Meet the Steemians Contest.
Steemfest has been absolutely amazing to me and I hope you enjoyed the contest as I did. I saw a lot of people walking around with their smartphone at hand, ready to scan meet someone they had not talked to yet. The SteemFest app, which has existed since the very first edition, has never been used so much.
I am delighted that the financial aspect of the contest, while being a motivating element, has quickly disappeared from everyone's mind, giving way to fun and the pleasure of human encounters.
I received a lot of feedback from many participants, expressing their gratitude and explaining how this contest has allowed them to break the ice and talk to people they would never dare to approach.
This was my main goal at organizing this contest and I can not find words to say how pleased I am with the success of this initiative.
There has been a tremendous amount of work done and I want to warmly thank the entire team who worked with me behind the scenes. I will once more say thank you to 
I look forward to next year for a new contest and new rules. I learned a lot from this first experiment and I already have plenty of new ideas... ^^
