Youth in general are my passion, as I have 3 of them ranging in age from 13-20. So when I ran this contest, I really was pleased to see so many embrace the opportunity. It was nice to meet each and everyone of you young people, through your posts.
I chose a panel who truly represent what STEEMIT is and more what community is. They are all stellar examples of good people, with caring hearts, a joy in their words and in their spirit.
Now on to the results. We had 41 entries for the 7 day contest. It was nice to see representation from around the globe. I had many students going to University and I had some littler peanuts come out and give it a go.
Although the decision was a tough one, with too many entries with excellent content, they have narrowed the choices down.
So without further ado...
There was a TIE for First Place going to

Now as promised all my entries will receive an award for participating. Just look in your wallets for a transfer from me.
I want to say a big huge thank you to all the participants and would love it if you would continue to use the

Use it in all your future posts, and maybe just maybe there will be another contest just for you guys, the youth of steemit.
