You will ALL get your part from the prize pool. Indeed, the announcement mentioned that:
The remaining of the prize pool (56%) will be split among all participants proportionally to the number of MSC points collected.
There were a total of 2065 valid mutual meetings
Altogether, the top 10 contestants made 555 valid mutual meetings
All other contestants made 1510 valid mutual meetings (2065 - 555)
1026.52 STEEM have been awarded to the top 10 contestants.
The remaining of the prize pool for other contestants is 1306.48 STEEM (2333 - 1026.52)
Therefore, each valid mutual meeting is worth 0.865 STEEM (1306.48 / 1510)
Rewards will be distributed in 24 hours, which should allow those who would like to challenge these results (errare humanum est) to come forward.
An additional reward for everyone!
Finally, each participant of the Meet the Steemians Contest will also receive this commemorative badge, which will be displayed on your personal page.
Congratulations to all the contestant, to the winners and thank you all for your friendly participation in this contest!
A last word from @arcange
This post put an end to the SteemFest³ Meet the Steemians Contest.
Steemfest has been absolutely amazing to me and I hope you enjoyed the contest as I did. I saw a lot of people walking around with their smartphone at hand, ready to scan meet someone they had not talked to yet. The SteemFest app, which has existed since the very first edition, has never been used so much.
I am delighted that the financial aspect of the contest, while being a motivating element, has quickly disappeared from everyone's mind, giving way to fun and the pleasure of human encounters.
I received a lot of feedback from many participants, expressing their gratitude and explaining how this contest has allowed them to break the ice and talk to people they would never dare to approach.
This was my main goal at organizing this contest and I can not find words to say how pleased I am with the success of this initiative.
There has been a tremendous amount of work done and I want to warmly thank the entire team who worked with me behind the scenes. I will once more say thank you to @roelandp and to the sponsors for their trust and unconditional support!
I look forward to next year for a new contest and new rules. I learned a lot from this first experiment and I already have plenty of new ideas... ^^
