Great contest!

Congratulations to the winners. One of the most profound changes resulting from blockchain technology is decentralizing the internet. This contest continues to draw more professional and thoughtful responses. Blockchain needs to garner respect in the eyes of world and @OriginalWorks is making that more possible with each passing week.

Every one think he deserves the top 5 or 10. I have been writing on this contest for over a month now. The highest position i have attend was a 10th position. I do not complain about anything. I see each contest as a chance to improve in my writing skills. I appreciate @originalworks for having us contest here. 1.5 steem is really little for a contest you have to read the whole whitepaper, visit their websites and watch a lot of videos. Nevertheless, It alright. I hope to improve and get to the top on the next topic.

I haven't even gotten to that position before. Anyways, we can do better next time, that should be the reply of those confused souls

Congrats to the top winners. Hoping to do better next time.

MANY CONGRATULATIONS

to all this week's winners. unfortunately I couldn't find the time for an entry due to work and family commitments but am pleased to see some familiar faces in the winning pack !

Special Congrats to:

and great to see @smaeunabs, @ced000 @ecoininstant @dedicatedguy & @oivas in the winners line up

It was no doubt a challenge and a very technical subject ! I look forward to joining in this great contest thread soon. Big shout to the legendary @originalworks who if you like to get handy with Illustrator, Photoshop and the like also runs @mediaworks contests with graphic challenges for blockchain orgs !

Thank you so much @outerground! I was actually looking for your article as well and was quite surprised to know you weren't able to join. Still looking forward to reading your future entries. I am quite a silent reader hahahah

I don't even understand this result at all. Anyways it is well. Congratulations to all winners

Hahaha! I am confused too... But then guess that's how BandZ team wanted to look at it. Congrats to all winners!! Good job!

Yes every team with different tastes.

True that @kilatunzii!

Lol

don't understand it too - But I love it😂😂
Lol

Lol congrats @ced000 😂😂

Hi @ced000,
You have finish in tenth place and win 20 STEEM! Congratulations
Christel
Sorry for my english :(

Lol....
No problem at all

keep going @ced000 keeping my seat warm :) ><

Nahh...This ain't your seat....
You seat in higher positions😏
Sir @Outerground ....The Man of Originalworks 🙌🙌

you can never predict what the judges are looking for. you just have to go with your own intuition of what the project means to you !

Exactly. We just have to keep bringing our best, week in, week out

Exactly. We just
Have to keep bringing our
Best, week in, week out

Wow what a contest. Tho the results are really confusing, how was the judging like? @originalworks I made two animations included in my post none picked.

Btw Congratulations to the winners, most names seem new rise on guys!!

Corrected.

Thanks 😀

Please give chance to others. You have won atleast 100 Steem so please stop with the nonsense. You have won twice in a row with your boilerplate gif bombarded post. This is the most unbiased result so far. This is how a writing contest should be judged. Bombard your entry with images and people will just win week after week. No way. This week's result should serve as a lesson to those who think that they have figured out a way to win a writing contest just by kissing the unmentionables of the sponsor.

Hey did you even read this comment well?? I only asked how they were judged and you are here telling me stories? Please read the comment again for clarification i commended rhe new guys dude!!

I have to reiterate that you have won twice in a row. It is recorded in the blockchain. Give chance to other writers. The world doesn't revolve around you. You are spoiling the win of those who were just announced as victors. They won so be happy for them. Be happy for the judges for making an effort to really read the post. No sour graping for winning just 1.5 Steem.

This comment was made from https://ulogs.org

Bro chances are given to every writer and i commend everyone you just reading extra meanings to this because you didn't understand my first comment. Well ✌

"Though the results are confusing. How was it judged?" That is how you question the integrity of judges and fruits of their labor. The fruits of their labor happens to be the winners of this contest. Peace.

@mdominicorobin, @kilatunzii, you'll won too! Congrats and enjoy the win!!

Thanks @oivas

just be thankful I've had a couple of weeks off ! (that is a joke btw )

I think that everyone should be as supportive of each other as possible in the spirit of the contest. Everyone's struggling along in life, like everyone else.

If someone wins week after week, they are still working incredibly hard to make that winning entry and the win probably means alot to them. be nice :)

I just read @kilatunzii's entry that won him various positions. And I must confess they are great. I don't see anything like a "boilerplate gif" and the gif were awarded bonuses. So I think maybe both of you have something going on. And if you do, @originalworks comment box is most certainly the wrong place to showcase it. Please let's be guided.

Funny enough i have never encountered @mdominicorobin before so i don't know whats up.

Let us be honest. If you are going to win just by emphasizing aesthetics then this is not a writing contest. You will win just by following the cookie cutter week after week. But this time around he was surprised because he fell to 1.5 Steem. Writing is about substance and not about aesthetics. We don't care if you win weekly but what I can't stomach is the mere fact that you question the criteria of the judges. It is not our job. Our job is to write. Copy and paste the the post of @originalworks. That is your MO. This time around all of you are asking the same question which is suspicious. There is a conspiracy to get all the prizes for one person? That is not fair. "How was the judging like?" That is very suspicious question. Especially when those who have lost are asking the same question. This is not a coincidence this is an orchestration to blackmail @originalworks. Put me in a polygraph and I tell you that I am glad that the new people have won since they really deserve it.

Calm down homie. We'll all have a contest again. This time, we are all gunning for the win. Let's just let this one slide eh??

well said ! @okipeter

Well said. Yeah. Good writers are good liars after all. If you win week after week and the other writers are saying that you wrote an excellent article. Then it is definitely not a good article. It is the original post of @originalpost and you copied and pasted it and you won week after week while others are struggling with a unique presentation and exposition. You guys are using plagiarism to win. While most of us are not. Is this what they are teaching you in school. Plagiarism is not allowed but you have to embrace it to win Steem. If that happens the contest will get old. And you have the nerve to say that how was the judging like after losing. Is that how you do things in real life.

There appears to be some confusion so I would like to clear a few things up.

Although we do have certain criteria by which the contest is judged, that criteria can be altered depending on the contest as well as sponsor.

I will consider implementing a proper appeal channel for the future. That being said, there were many good works.

We do everything in our power to keep the contest as unbiased as we can to offer everybody an equal chance at winning.

The missing video bonuses have been corrected.

Feel free to message @originalworks if you have concerns for the time being.

Also, with an increase in quality writing, it is possible that there will be a change in the bonus structure to award more authors for upcoming events!

:)

Congratulations to all the winners!
Thanks again @Originalworks

Congrats big name

Thanks sir!

Wow!!!... Trying to wrap my head around the results... Anyways... All good... There's always a Next time.. congrats

congratulations to all the winners,

i must comment that the way the results are being calculated is becoming rather confusing. something seems to be extremely misplaced here.

Congratulations to all the winners. Unlimited thanks to the entire Bandz.io and @originalworks team for sponsoring this valuable contest.

Thanks @originalworks, congratulations to the winners.

Thank you so much @originalworks and congratulations to all the winners.

Congratulations to the winners!

Wow so.interesting...
Congratulations most esp.@tonie

Congrats to all winners.... Thanks to @originalworks and BandZ for this...

I didnt have a video bonus.. Why?

I did have a video in my post

Corrected.

Thanks!!!

Congrats to the winners. @originalworks and the Bandz team thanks for the prize. Unto the next one

Congrats to the winners.
Can't say I'm not shocked at the results though.

Something seems to be very wrong somewhere.

@originalworks tell me I'm right. 😅😅😅

Everyone was shocked lol 😂😂

Indeed, something seems to be wrong.

They have won and there is something wrong. Salty group of companies. Yes there is something wrong. You have lost. On second thought it is something right.

@mdominicorobin you have the wrong idea. Not salty. I'm happy for them. I'm just surprised to see so many top writers getting 2.5steem. I can state MY opinion can't I?

You really should read the atmosphere before rushing to conclusions.

Top writers? No they are not. They are the copypasta group who are salty after drowning in their mud of boilerplate presentation. I have read their articles. They are anything but works of top writers. They are Tumblr type of presentations. I can state my opinions too can't I. The higher they get the harder they fall. So happy that the pretenders have fallen.

Lol okay I get your point now. You don't like their style of writing. Nothing wrong with that. Everyone is free to make their choice. Goodluck on the new contest!

It is not even about style but it is about cornering the win by following the "required" template. I am just saying that you should take a break if ever you get the top prize. Be competitive but there is always a limit since the eyes of the sponsors are lurking in the comment section. If you are whining like the clones of Mr. Smith then your luck might just run out since most of them are profiling the contestants. Including those who are perpetual winners. Just allow others to shine as well. Stop cornering the top prizes with a very obvious copypasta.

Understood man. Well said.

Thanks so much @originalworks am grateful

I'm really surprised at this results.. I don't even know the basis for the judgement though..

But congrats to the winners.. We always aim at getter better

Thank you so much hurray am so happy

Congratulation to all winners!

Thank you @originalworks!

Namaste, Jaichai

I don't understand it too - But I love it😂😂
Lol

Congratulations to all the winners!

Thanks mate.

Great contest. Happy because I am always among the winners, a thousand thanks in advance ready for the next one.

Greetings to all and congratulations to all the winners. I really like this type of contests and I want to thank you for the support. Just a question. I @norkamoran with the presentation I got the fifteenth place, with 11 STEEM but I only have a deposit of 7 STEEM, I wanted to know if it was a mistake? Thanks in advance.

@norkamoran

Thanks @originalworks and BandZ... congract to all the winners :)

Well,

Thank you @originalworks! I got my bonus !

And

Congratulations to all winners!

So, my write up did not deserve anything? still thinking @unprovoked so bad. But i think i deserve some compensation.

Nobody deserves anything. Attitude like this can chase organisations away

Congratulation all the winner
Thankyou @originalworks

Thanks for the bonus @originalworks. Thanks for the really interesting topic @BandZ. Should genuinely be a fantastic solution. Enjoyed writing about this one

A lot of confused people. And yeah, I was surprised too. Well it was bound to happen someday. Nobody deserves anything I think. Before the latest crop of winners, there was a set before that. Good everyone has a chance. Not great to undermine the effort of the top finishers. At least, I get to learn and stand a chance to get a little Steem. :)

Goodluck to everyone next time.

Yeah, @solcross, it is indeed good to see new winners up there!

Indeed. But you are one of 4 familiar faces I see up there. :) haha. Read your entry.

You've spoken well. I guess we have to bring up more stiff competition

Thank you! another great contest! :D

Thank you @originalworks for considering my post.
A friend introduced me to your competition and I must say it is a lot tougher than I thought.
I appreciate the fact that I even made it to the list. Hoping I rank higher next time!

Thank you everyone.

Congratulations to all! This is a really moving one. Happy my efforts pulled off.

The truth is, no body deserves or has the right to be confused. Those who are confused are potential winners, so don't feel like you are or were too good. Different project are judges so you never can tell what they like or don't. They did not even give equal chance to all, the people who won deserved it because their contents worth the price. So don't act like they did charity this time.

behind the ambulance :(

I got double heartbreak today. From BandZ and from Argentina. Damn, we keep on moving.
