We know some of you submitted an entry early on in the contest, before the deadline got extended with a week. Of course, we didn't extend it for no reason. We noticed that the response was quite low and were hoping that after an extension, people would find their way to the contest after all. We soon noticed that the format we had in mind was probably not going to be successful during the busiest season of the year. Timing is everything and the start of the contest was timed badly so it seems.
We were considering changing up the format for the second round vs cancelling it for now and see how to re-start the contest after the holiday season. Eventually, we made the decision to cancel it for now because we know family matters, especially during the holiday season and the response to the contest would most-likely not improve much in the next month because of this. Everyone is decorating their homes, visiting family and being Santa's helpers to make sure we spoil the loved ones during Christmas. We still think the contest is a great idea, just that it needs to be timed better as well as some changes in the format that we are going to discuss within the team.
We apologize to those that have participated that it ends here (for now), but of course you are all invited to join us when we restart this contest somewhere after the holidays.
Of course, we would not let this round go by unnoticed and forget about the entries that were submitted. We have judged them within the team and we have picked three winners that will all receive their prize as announced. We have to add a little note that not everyone understood the idea of the contest as we intended, which means we have to explain it better in the future or we need to simplify it. We will decide on this when we pick up the contest again. Without further ado, here are the top three entries:
First place:
@nbarrios67
Second place:
@chacald.dcymt
Third place:
@fantom22
Congrats on winning, your prizes will be sent to your accounts as soon as possible, please take into account that we are dealing with time zones and it could take a bit of time before the Scholar/Scribe is there.
We are confident that we will push this contest to another level in the near future and we hope to see you back when we re-start it. For now we are very thankful for those that made time to join and your participation is greatly appreciated!
