Writing is one of the tags more used amon Steemians, no matter if they are 2 years on the platform or 1 month, so you can imagine how hard it was to pick among the tens of entries we received. The entries were amazing and we spent a lot of hours reading, and after some re-reads, even though we wish to be able to select more people, unfortunately we have to keep the list short in order to be able to handle the last quest.
The stories behind the writers were incredible, some even brought some emotions to me (and I bet to Guyfawkes also) and, the Task 2 proved to be one of the most effective to assess the abilities from each participant, thank you guys for puting so much time and effort towards this Quest, which I know wasn´t easy.
In case you have no idea what this quest is about, @anomadsoul and @guyfawkes4-20, weare building an online Summer Camp powered by Sndbox over the month June.
So far, we have selected a number of 38 people, and we’re planning to hold at least one more quest and get 50 people that will be eligible for the Final Quest that will guarantee 20 hard-working Steemians a place in our camp and maybe eventually into @sndbox.
If you don´t remember the Summer Camp process, here it is:
1.- A Steemian must finish one of the various SndboxQuests to be eligible to join the Final Quest.
2.- Every Steemian who finished and was selected to do the Final Quest must finish it fulfilling all the requirements to be eligible to be part of the Summer Camp.
3.- Some of the Steemians who finish the Final Quest will then proceed to be part of the SndboxSummerCamp. Throughout the Summer camp, every member will receive support, guidance, and advice from the @sndbox team. Sndbox is the most amazing project incubator in the Steemcosystem, so this Summer Camp is serious business.
4.- After the summer camp, the top of the class will form part of the @sndbox cohort 2 and will get support, advice, and guidance throughout all the second semester of 2018.
As you could notice, we were curating a lot of the entries with the @sndbox-alpha account to try and reward as many Steemians as we can, there are still a few votes to cast to some of the entries but you know how Voting Power works, me and @guyfawkes4-20 need to recharge some of it before voting.
Without further ado, here are the winners in no particular order:
