Celebrating Steem's Fast Facts

---

Last week, we announced a challenge for Steemit users to visualize the speed and efficiency of the Steem blockchain. We think it’s an amazing time to promote Steem and Steemit to a growing public that has it's eye on efficient cryptocurrencies. Prizes have been delivered in the form of upvotes. Take a look at the creative responses below and make sure to give them your support!

• First, Second, Third Place = 50% @sndbox upvote
• Fourth and Fifth Place = 25% @sndbox upvote each
• All other contest participants will receive a partial @sndbox upvote!

Without further adieu, here are the winners!

Congrats to @kimzwarch! This entry was a super fun, clear and very compelling design concept. It really set the precedent for space-themed infographics! (Everyone seems to love rocket ships!) Check out the full submission post here.

Congrats to @fivefiveeleven! Great flow and use of the long format for and informative banner. See the original submission here.

Congrats to @jimdraw! Super playful with a great little twist at the end. As designers and architects, we loved the sky-scraping effect. Check out the full submission post here.

We were only supposed to choose up to 5 main recipients but there were so many wonderful entries that we barely were able to narrow it down to 6 (shaving to our original 5 seemed impossible).
