Am surprised you received 2 entries and I think alot of people ignored the contest intentionally and I keep on wondering why, are there attention drawn to somewhere else?
I prefer steem/steem power reward than delegation except the delegation is almost massive. Two years ago a moderator organized a contest and made delegation the reward, I even thought he was going to share that amount of steem power delegation to us directly as steem power.
My steem power wasn't up to 2k then, I rushed to participate in the contest and gave it my all only fore to finally realize at the end that it was delegation rewards not steem power reward 🤧. I think I didn't win as well.
Such reward is impressive anyway and newbies love it alot especially the ones that have full knowledge about it. About the poor turnout of steemians, I believe with time more steemians will participate in this contest.
I try to understand what you wrote, so let's take it step by step...
Why people didn't join this contest?
Can be they hate me, can be someone else offers more, can be because it's December, can be I didn't translate the topic, can be those who always joined left, can be the community is falling asleep, can be they don't like commenting.
I prefer Steem/an investment above a delegation.
I know I will rarely check if I received it and if so if it's still there. Imagine I have a long list of 2 SP delegated. Will I miss it if someone takes all the delegations away? No most likely not and if so what can I do? I can ask how or what but I won't get paid, receive a refund and if the account is powering down.
The benefits of an investment (SBI/UVF) I immediately noticed as I returned. I receive upvotes for what I post also from those who automatically upvote me, old Steemians. I am sure you would be happy too if anyone would do that for you.
SP as a reward
It's only this year I noticed SP was set for a reward instead of Steem.
I still have no reply from those who did why they do this so the answer is clear to me and you confirmed it.
The average Steemian has no idea and believes it is Steem so they cheer. For sure there are more like you who believe that it will be more than 2 delegated SP. A better prize would be a certain % of what the post will be rewarded with but that will not work if the post receives no upvotes (or perhaps it will and help people to understand that if they do not upvote the host there is no payout).
I don't understand what you mean with this:
How can newbies have fully knowledge of the SP-delegation-deal? Why should they love receiving nothing?
As I understand now the only benefit is for the one who has to pay the prizes: no risk of losing the club, no risk of losing Steem.
If more Steemians will participate in contests where the reward is SP this means they will never level up, they have no Steem to power down or Steem to use._

Saya rasa bukan karena benci teman.... contohnya saya, ketika di undang di kontes mana pun kalau waktu dan bahannya ada saya akan berusaha mengikutinya.
Tapi kalau waktunya mepet dan tak terkejar terpaksa saya abaikan semoga di kontes berikutnya saya akan ikut berpartisipasi.
Anda tahu? Terkadang saya tidak mengerti apa yang akan saya jawab mungkin pengetahuan saya kurang atau pun bahannya harus saya ambil dari internet.
Terus terang kalo mengambilnya dari internet saya khawatir takut salah dan kejadian seperti kawan saya, mengikuti kontes lalu salah menautkan sumber dan akhirnya terkena masalah dianggap plagiat.
Tanpa teguran /peringatan langsung dilaporkan ke sc01 atau 02, padahal dia pendatang baru dan masih tidak mengerti banyak hal, dan sampai sekarang dia tidak mau menulis lagi di platform steemit ini.
Padahal kalau saya lihat tulisannya sangat bagus dan berbobot ketimbang hasil tulisan saya yang mungkin sesuai dengan jalan pikiran saya sendiri yang menceritakan perihal apapun.

I think is because is December, this December seems to be affecting alot of steemians. The prize in a contest also play a very vital role so it seems they want it bigger.
SBI is a very wonderful thing and is only one steemian that has done it for me, when he was trying to experiment something and he intends to do it again in the nearest future.
Steem power reward started trending last year because alot of people didn't want to go out of a club but now that not being in a club isn't a serious issue I think some should continue sharing steem as reward.
The reason I said newbies will love a delegation reward more is because most of them don't have much resource credit to make numerous comments so getting delegation will help them and their rate of voting posts will be more better that period.

Kenapa diantara anda berdua di dalam komentr menyebutkan bulan desember, memangnya kenapa dengan bukan desember ini, apakah karena harga steem naik dan muncul SBD lagi, atau apa keistimewaannya bagi steemian dengan bulan ini.

Greetings Mr. Bahrol, we were talking about December because is a season where alot of people travel to different places and these places might not have good network for steemians to be active online.
When we were discussing this the return of SBD wasn't trending so we weren't talking about SBD and all. I hope you understand.

Ini adalah bulan pengucapan syukur, Natal dan Malam Tahun Baru. Orang-orang berkumpul dengan keluarga, teman, hadiah, perayaan, lebih banyak kunjungan ke gereja dan mudah-mudahan juga mengundang orang miskin. Di samping itu di banyak negara musim dingin dimulai, sekolah tutup selama 2 minggu sehingga lebih banyak waktu untuk keluarga, kunjungan, liburan musim dingin di luar negeri. Itulah yang dimaksud.
Begitu juga dengan perayaan agama Anda, Anda tidak hadir.
Jika untuk bullrun atau SBD banyak yang terlambat, mereka seharusnya aktif dan tidak mati karena Steem adalah 0,13.
@ wakeupkitty
It is the month of thanks giving, christmas and New Years Eve. People arebusy with family, friends, gifts, celebrations, more church visits and hopefully also invite the poor. Next to that in many countries the Winter started, schools close for 2 weeks so more time for family, visits, winter vacation abroad. That is what is meant.
You have the same with your religion celebrations and are absent.
If it was for the bullrun or SBD many are too late, they should have been active and not been powering down as Steem was 0.13.

Kalau untuk perayaan agama saya juga akan melakukannya dan akan segera datang, saya pikir ada hal yang lebih woww tentang steemit selain melambungnya harga steem.
Kalau untuk mereka yang merayakan hari rayanya sudah pasti akan menikmatinya bersama keluarga dan bisa saja akan lupa dengan steemit ini untuk sementara waktu.
Mungkin habis liburan mereka akan kembali aktif dengan postingan-postingan tentang yang mereka alami, jalani, nikmati bersama keluarga di masa natal dan tahun baru.
Akan tetapi disaat harga steem melambung seperti ini, pasti banyak yang melakukan penjualan steem. Tetapi saya tidak bisa melakukannya.

Well, this demands a bit of deliberation.
Perhaps, a voting poll might work on this; that's if it's possible to pull up one here.🤔
It's Just a suggestion.

@wakeupkitty I saw the contest and was hoping to learn from it considering that I didn't really understand the terms about Sp, SBI and UVF
I am forced to probably say there are more of such people as myself.

There are many more and if you read the commentsection here but also the former contest than you will see more info is written in the comment section. If you have more question I might be able to answer them and if not let's hope/search for someone who can.

Selama saya mengikuti dan membaca sesuatu yang posting maupun melalui sebuah kontes, banyak sekali informasi dan pengetahuan yang saya dapatkan, baik itu berupa pengetahuan umum maupun pengetahuan tentang dunia steemit. Kadang kala saya asyik membaca semua komentar dan memahaminya sehingga lupa untuk berbuat sesuatu.
Seperti sekarang ini, saya sudah memahami tentang UVF.

Hal yang sama berlaku bagi saya. Saya selalu membaca sesuatu yang baru dan beberapa jam berikutnya dihabiskan untuk membaca, menyimpan tautan, dan membuat catatan. Jika Anda ingin menulis, lebih baik menulis komentar pertama dan komentar berikutnya pada 2-3 posting setelah itu gangguan (kecanduan?) akan dimulai.

Kadang kala saya membacanya berulang-ulang untuk lebih memahaminya. Karena membaca itu mengingat. Jadi saya baca beberapa kali biar lebih mengingatnya.

Saya juga begitu, selama saya membaca komentar dari setiap kontes ini, selalu mendapatkan apa yang belum saya ketahui. Singkat ceritanya, kontes ini bisa menambah ilmu dan wawasan dengan gemar membaca setiap komentar.
