I would like to thank all of the 79 entries that participated in the Photo Contest as part of my 500 Followers Celebration. No words can express the happiness that I’ve felt for everyone’s warm welcome to my first contest here in Steemit. Honestly, I was a bit worried that only few will join since I am also a newbie and not famous like the others. As the day passing by, more and more Steemians are sending their entries which I am really touched.

Here are the 79 amazing people who did a job well done!

The Good News

I’ve never anticipated that this one is coming so @paradise-found and I came up to an idea that announcing the winners will be move on April 23 instead of April 19 which is today supposedly. The reason is we are really surprised on the number of entries that were sent and we want to be fair to everyone. We need few more days to make a sound judgment and I am begging for your understanding.

To show our deepest gratitude for the love and support that you’ve given for this contest, @paradise-found initiated to post in @gratefulvibes main account the top 20 and I am happy to announce that we are increasing the numbers of winners. From the previous two honorable mentions, we will now make it five! We are happy to give 13 SBD instead of the original 10 SBD.

The winners will now get the following:

First Place: 5 SBD

Second Place: 3 SBD

Five Honorable Mentions: 1 SBD each

Thank you so much for understanding. God bless everyone!
