First of all let me thank every one who up voted Your Story Contest and helped crowd funding the contest prize, frankly I did not expect it to generate this much prize money. The idea of the contest was to primarily support Steemit users with great content with not much success yet , but contest was open to everyone !
Secondly I thank you everyone who participated with your amazing stories ! It was not a easy decision , going through all the stores and also looking at your profile content !
Theme of the Story was How you got into photography as a student/hobbyist/professional
Here are the best 5 stories and winners in no particular order ! I am adding some quotes from the story and my favorite image from their profile , I would recommend reading the full story by clicking the link.
Winners !!
Congratulations All Winners !!
As I mentioned in my original post all of the author rewards would go to winners, that is 6+ SBDs each based on below payout crowd funded from original post
Additionally I have decided to add 3 sbd's from side to reward below great profiles with amazing photography who also participated!
Steemians - Appreciate if you could show some love & support by visiting these profiles !
One again thank you every one for participating, sharing your real life story and making this a success. I will try to arrange more such contest in the interest of community and to support the Underdogs, if I may call !
You can see all the contest entries here
Cheers!
