Before I announce the Burled Wood contest winners let me tell you about a "mean" teacher that taught me a lesson when I was a kid.
At school we were always told that when doing a test or an exam we should read all of the questions on the test first before starting. Most of us thought that this was a waste of time and we just did the test beginning from question number one.
This Time We Regretted Not following Directions!
One day this "mean" teacher gave us a test with 10 questions. As usual most of us didn't read all the questions through before starting and we went from question 1 to question 10 in that order. When we got to question 10 it said. "You must only answer question number 5 on this test. Anyone who answers any other question will get a failing grade. What did you do?"
On that occasion almost all of us failed but we learned the lesson. Read the instructions!
Why Did I Tell You This Story?
For the first time ever I added the stipulation to the rules that all entrants must have a picture of someone holding a Steem sign to be eligible. Here is what I wrote:
IMPORTANT: There must be a person in the photo (you or a friend) and the person must be holding a "sign" with the Steem logo (hand drawn or otherwise).
Of all of the entries only 8 followed the rules (granted some wrote the word Steemit without the logo but I'm not too much of a stickler!) and so here are the winners for this contest:
