WINNERS OF THE CONTEST: It's All Greek-Science-Geek To Me!

in greeksciencegeek •  7 years ago  (edited)

                    

Last week I launched my very first contest. Unfortunately there weren't as many entries as I'd hoped for, but this doesn't make the contestants any less worthy. 

The entries had to be around a word of science that originates from Greek. A definition and short description, along with a recording of the contestants pronouncing the word were also required. The reward pool was a total of 20 SBD from my personal account, plus 50% of the SBD earnings (10.295 SBD was the 100% post payout) of the contest post.

No need to keep you waiting any longer, let's get to the winner's board...

3rd place:

 Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia

@trumpman wins the 4 plus 1.029 SBD, congratulations!

2nd place:

Cryptorchidism  

@replichara wins the 6 plus 1.544 SBD, congratulations!

1st place:

Autophagy 

@irime is the lucky one who wins the award of 10 plus 2.573 SBD, congratulations!


Your rewards are on their way, so check your wallets any time soon, guys!
