I hit a huge milestone this past week, and gained my 500th follower during my 9th week on Steemit! Wow, thank you guys so much for all your support on my posts, and for liking my content enough that you've chosen to follow me! I appreciate you all so much, and would not be this successful without all of you.
What an amazing journey it's been as I am now in my 10th week of being on this life-changing platform! I call it that because it really has been nothing short of life-changing. To celebrate my milestone, I've decided to do my part to give back to the community, by hosting another contest.
Before I go any further, I have to give credit where credit is due, and I have to thank @intuitivejakob for giving me this idea to award a BTC Mining Package as a prize for this contest. He talked about it in chats with me before, but he actually put it out in his own post, which you can find here. He said,
The winner of the gameboard will receive a prize pot of my own ₿ (which will be around $63 worth of btc at the time it will be transferred) and a participation unit in a 95% energy-efficient bitcoin mining operation that will pay you in liquid bitcoin, daily.
If you'd like to find out more about that mining op, you can reach me on Discord by adding me, SaipanDamashii#7819.
Anyway, on to the contest details. As I've said above, Steemit has been such a life-changing platform for me. Not only has it provided me with some money when I needed it in a tight spot, but it has also put so many people in my life who have provided me with such mind-blowing genuine support for all my work. Being on Steemit has really boosted my self-esteem and my belief in my own work, and has provided me with an amazing outlet for my creative talents.
I have been so inspired to really explore my creative spark, and pursue my talents in life, since coming to Steemit. A huge THANK YOU, by the way, to @stevenalexander for bringing me to this place. Go check out his profile, he puts out some amazing content and you should also consider supporting him if you support me :)
I'm so grateful to everyone over at the @MinnowSupport Project as well, because I would not be where I am on this platform today if I had never been directed by @gmuxx to join that amazing network. If you're a new Steemian, or you're still struggling to see your idea of success on this platform, I strongly suggest you go check it out by clicking here.

Hello man I remembered this contest a day or two ago when we were chatting on Whaleshares discord channel. After you posted last 6 hours post, I was getting ready and was prepared to resteem your post because I thought it was a really great idea.
What happened to it ?

Hey there @warrkin, thanks for inquiring about the contest results. I had someone who was supposed to be my co-judge for the entries, in order to prevent any accusations of favoritism in the event that any of my friends on Steemit decided to join, and so he was supposed to help me judge the entries, but he has been ghosting me and so I've been trying to figure out if I should keep trying to reach him, find a new person to co-judge the entries, or just go with my own personal rankings and then announce the winners like that. I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting like this for so long. Since you are the only one who bothered to check in, I'd like to know which route you think I should go from here, and I will go with that.
