Explanation
First, this is not a contest offering some prize, to you the reader, for voting or not voting a certain way with your witness vote(s). No, this is a contest for Witnesses competing for one of my witness votes which has become available recently.
A total of 18 witnesses lost my support with their decision to install HF22.2. Those 18 votes have been used to pad the most likely of the pre-HF22.2 Witnesses able to retain a top 20 position. Those votes are fickle and eventual support will not likely remain with them once the TRON issue becomes resolved in some way.
Contest Rules
At payout time of this post, contestants must be active witnesses as displayed at :
https://steemian.info/witnessesContestants should post a link in the comments of this post to a post from their witness account entitled:
My take on 'The Steemit Inc. and the Pre-HF22.2 Consensus Witnesses' stand off'.
The comment with the link which receives the greatest number of votes, from accounts with a reputation score of 30 or more, shall be the witness to receive one of my votes for the next year at least.
Conclusion
My vote will not likely change your ranking on its own. It would help if others commented promising to abide by the same rules of the contest and vow to support the winner. Hopefully whether one gets my vote or not they will have had the opportunity to express to a subset of the community how they feel about the current stand off and how they see things moving forward.

May the best witness win!
Good Luck!
